"Paper Portraits 2"

Developing our work from the previous week, we explored the meaning of a self-portrait in a more literal sense.

We were asked to draw a representation of ourselves on the paper, drawing the body including layers such as bones and organs. However, we were only allowed to draw using our mouth and feet to hold the pen!

This was a fascinating exercise that allowed us to really concentrate on the parts of the body that were important to us as individuals. We could then use these portraits as a movement score to develop a short movement phrase. This was great fun and very interesting as even though the picture was me, it also wasn't me and made me move in a different way to how I would normally...
