Polysensority of movement: imagining and experiencing continuous sensations

Abstract

In these pages, I present the polysensority of movement, the elements that make it up, the possibilities to create with them and some polysensory creations. I call polysensority of movement to the continuous movements that produce continuous sensations in my imagination and that I try to turn into polysensory creations, these can be on video or score. The video is a record of a creation and a guide, a moving score. The sensations are: tactile, auditory, visual, olfactory, taste, movement. The creator himself, dancers, actors, musicians, all audience, robots, etc., can take part in the creations. Musical instruments (for example, cello, viola, bongos), papers of different materials, coloured pencils, glasses, watercolours, sandpapers, balls, etc., are used in them; the space where the creations take place is also used, there may be walls, floor, ceiling, trees, grass, water, rocks, sand, etc. This writing is a reworking and synthesis of my PhD thesis: The creative process of the polysensority of movement (2018).
