Description Lab – Dialectic Attempts of A Eurhythmician And A Complexity Scientist

The Description Lab took place in the context of the null space research in the dicsipline of eurhythmics. The praxeological research material has been published in the form of an article in Le Rythme 2023, the annual journal of fier, and in an online exhibition


Here is some of the output produced in this Lab:

Dialectic Attempts in Artistic Eurhythmics Practice - Towards a notation of spatial qualities through an iterative multi-layered description
Article for "Handbook Music and Motion"
Workshops and lecture „Etudes d'espace – dialectic attempts of a Eurhythmician and a complexity scientist“
Article in "Le Rythme": Dialectic Attempts of A Eurhythmician And A Complexity Scientist
