Improvisation: Human Skin


In our improvisation classes, we began to look at the anatomy of our own skin. I did some research and found this image a good resource. It clearly shows all the layers of the skin and I didn't realise how complex it actually is. We then began moving, inititating from our skin, imagining trying to get every last inch of skin to touch the floor. My movements became very abstract and I wasn't trying to make them asthetically pleasing like I usually would. I found myself only using the top layer of skin because this is the one that is in contact with the floor, not the inner layers. We have continued to develop this in our lessons and draw the ways in which we move too.
