MOVEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE

The Movement Infrastructure (MI) is a built structure which supports and enables the production of movement defined by the symmetry and proportions of the human body. The MI is shaped from the icosahedron; it is an art and design product, based on hybrid manufacturing of modular systems.

ICOSAHEDRON The "Laban icosahedron" is one of the most renowned physical structures in dance. The name is from his creator Rudolf Laban (1879-1958), who applied the five regular polyhedra to movement sequences, he defined as "scale". The icosahedron, for one hundred year has been used in choreography by Rudolf Laban and his legacy as a framework for dance routines. 3D printing technology is used to facilitate the assembling of the icosahedron, which become easy to assemble readily available for fitness practices outside the dance studio. The geometry underpinning the icosahedron connections are also a metaphor for the movement sequences performed framed by its structure.
Each MI is designed to fit the height of the user; the movement sequence performed inside is based on a vinyasa sequence. The geometry of the solids is linked to structural strength and balance.
