We will emphasize the expressive role of color in the figurative context within the narrative framework of the body. This will be explored through the dynamic figure while working with dancers/gymnast. There will be a focus on their unique forms of movement in shorter poses and changing shapes. We will look at how color is interpreted in these situations. Individual direction will be emphasized, working in a range from the representational to the abstract.
