The practice approaches the body as a porous and relational field, constantly shaped through its encounters with space, materials, objects, memory, technology and other bodies. Rather than asking only what the body does, Somatic Notation explores what movement emerges through and in relation to.

​

Drawing from somatic practice, movement research, posthuman thought and choreographic composition, the methodology develops ways of observing and recording sensory states, movement qualities, spatial relations, material encounters and processes of transformation.

Movement is not treated as something fixed to be reproduced, but as something that is continuously becoming. Through improvisation, sensory exploration, movement scores, video and embodied reflection, Somatic Notation investigates how experiences can become movement, how movement can become material, and how material can become a choreographic score.

At the centre of the practice is the development of a different kind of choreographic writing, one that does not attempt to capture movement as a finished form, but traces the relationships, sensations and conditions through which it emerges.

Somatic Notation is a practice of sensing, mapping and composing through the body.
