My car-dancing is an example of experimentation to see how the environment we place ourselves in can dictate our movements in dance.
A person in a wheelchair is not at first seen to have the expected physique of a dancer, nor would it be fair to place a dancer in handcuffs, a costume too tight, or a sling or bandage of any kind. I have now come full circle, form the starting point at which I was considering the external constraints upon the movements of a puppet; the strings by which he is held dictate his freedom of movement. I considered experimenting with dancing with my feet anchored by elastic to the wall, to play with tension and how that restricted my momentum in dance.
