Organization of Space

Well, I haven't updated my blog with any consistency up to this point, but I do have a lot of interest in what we are doing. The project, as I understand it, is to create a spaces that exhibit unique qualities pertaining to our individual dance, and as someone participates in these spaces, they should have an understanding of what important qualities our dance exudes. The form may attribute in some way to the understanding of our dance, but it is the arrangement of the spaces that should most identify our dance. With that being said, my dance is the Charleston. If you want to have a full understanding of what the Charleston is, then I would recommend you type in "charleston style" in youtube. You wont be disappointed, I promise. If you are too lazy to make a few wrist movements and neuron fires, then I will tell you the the Charleston consists of big swooping leg kicks and arm swings, all in a central area, but without any real uniformity, as the dance is constant improvisation, or as I like to call it, organized chaos. I want to create space that encourages movement, but improvised movement, with smooth transitions between spaces, all surrounding a central core area, because in the Charleston, a central core is important for balance between leg kicks and arm swings.  I'm pretty sure I want to use a spiral-like formation of space, with openings in the walls (which make up the spiral) so that people can make smooth transitions from space to space. 

Here are a few photos of initial ideas. Any input is very much appreciated. Thank you.
