The following additional questions guided our personal research:
• How much and how is my movement influenced by the space around me?
• Am I trained to move in rectangular coordinate systems? Am I truly free to move in any angle in space or do I prefer certain angles?
• What are the parallels between moving in the microcosm of a
dance studio versus moving in an open landscape? What additional
influences contribute to my dance outside and how can I stay with
the dance without having to black them out? Are there (and if
yes, what are) similarities between reading the landscape and
reading my dance partner?
• How do my improvisational dancing skills overlap with my landscape navigation skills, both in terms of directional movement and my ability to be fully present where I am?
• How do I maintain a connection to both the landscape and to other people, when I work outdoors?
