Movements
Nematode vs human??
Can you human body performance like a Nematode? Can the human body move like a Nematode? Can the human body become like a Nematode? Can a human move like a Nematode, is it physically possible?
SOMA - Dance Performers
As the human body is at the heart of SOMA, our dictionary of the physical movement within the performance is defined by its abilities and inabilities. We ask ourselves what the human body is capable of expressing and what are its limitations.
Nematode Movements
Examples that show the way in which Nematodes move and position themselves
Netflix - My Octopus Teacher
Notes from watching the documentary
- There is something to learn here, something special.
- He totally mapped the octopuses environment to learn from her
- There was total trust between the octopus and him
- He almost became the octopus, he was obsessed
- The octopus taught him to become sensitised to the other
- Our lives were mirroring each others
- The octopus sacrifices her own life for her young
- In my mind I think like an octopus
- That is there strategy - live fast die young
- The octopus showed me just how precious the wild places are
First tests with the phone microscope
