exploring the relationship between


perceptual and embodied experiences
    environmental change
        and the inter-connectedness of movement in various scales 


Movement Ecology includes a video installation where black and white textures alternate and overlap in order to defamiliarize context and materiality in an exploration of perspective, texture, and layering. Allison Costa’s solo dance performance works to highlight the presence of surfaces and realities made possible and interconnected by movement, as she becomes an active part in the exploration between physicality and perception, environment and perspective. 

The project (as a whole and as its individual parts: dance, book, installation) mirrors the fractal nature of life,emphasizing each organism’s capacity for upward cycling patterns, in which each element is interspecific and interconnected with potential multi-scale influence.
