Proprioceptive1

'There is a sixth sense directly attuned to the movements of the body: proprioception. It involves specialized sensors in the muscles and joints. Proprioception is a self-referential sense, in that what it most directly registers are displacements of the parts of the body relative to each other.'
Brian Massumi



Shooting Footnotes:
I am particularly interested to see whether the camera can capture a sense of propriocption in action. The dancers were given the task of moving with their eyes closed to enhance the connection to their movement, and the camera moved around the dancers as it filmed. Performers are Dominique Bulgin and Isobel Cohen.
