In Ronit Eisenbach’s article “Placing Space: Architecture, Action, Dimension”, dance, and specifically Bebe Miller’s form of dance, is used in an entirely different and interesting way than what I am used to. The research article actually was based on a college course taught at the University of Maryland. The course combined and compared two seemingly unrelated fields: dance and architecture. The purpose of the class and the article was to see the effect that the physical environment has on dance performance projects, and how the construction of space from a movement point of view has on architecture. More simply, it looked into the reciprocal roles that movement and space have on each other’s formation. Most interestingly, Bebe Miller was actually one of the creators of the class.
