Abstract:
Words in Motion is a practice as research project that involves dance, choreography, and literature. The research will consist in three choreographic experimentations in which text will be approached as the starting point to create movement. Each experimentation will involve the creation of a solo piece utilising a different element of the selected text, Caged Bird (1983) by Maya Angelou, which will be unpacked from the perspective of semiotics. The aim of the project is to analyse and compare the experience of creating the three pieces as well as the choreographic results obtained in the three different experimentations.
