The work sheds light on dance, movement, artistry and choreographic stage-work from the perspective of the specific character of dance as a form of artistic expression and focuses on issues to do with experience, memory and embodiment.

This process of illumination is grounded in the form of practical knowledge which is the typical form of knowledge particular to the creative arts, ie, bodily experience.

The project applies and investigates this through a staged choreography of the elderly person's subjective experiences. The work with movement studies of older people provides the research material which forms the foundation of the choreographic process for a presentation of movement as the memory of the body: a form of fundamental linguistic research.
