this section still needs to be written…

But on WhatIIIF? 2023 in Rotterdam, SPACE will be our subject!

An opportunity to bring this section alive from the concrete research-interests of the participating improvisers!

Reading through all proposals and research obsessions, there transpires at least a subdivision of talking about space in these three categories (which are of course interlaced in reality, and probably there are more categories to add):

---

SPACE as an expressive MATERIAL

e.g.:
– physical space (the actual, tangible space you are in, the relationship with other ‘bodies’ in space)

– visual space (how is space treated and organised visually?)

– audio space (how is the listening space organised, and how to deal with space there?)

– …

---

SPACE as an INNER EXPERIENCE

e.g.:
– imaginary spaces

– inner, bodily spaces

– …

---

SPACE as a RELATIONAL (or social) EXPERIENCE

e.g.:

– public spaces / performance spaces (i.e. the relationship with audience, and how that is organised by space)

– types of communal spaces that are created or facilitated

– the space you are given or you take (for action, interaction, in a social sense)

– …

---

Just as a first proposal…

How could the thoughts about SPACE further become part of this Knowledge Base in a meaningful way? 

What are the essential/helpful things to describe about the ways we can work with ‘space’ in improvisation?
