Elisabeth Van Dyck

My work derives from my two main passions: graphic design and dance/choreography. “PLOTTER” was my bachelor’s project in which I tried to find a way to translate movement into a physical document. The 20 participating dancers traced their movements on a 72-square-meter floor by dancing with black paint on their hands and feet. The contact points
with the floor therefore became an essential factor. It was a play between gravity, movement, a carrier, and a medium. The result of this is a large ‘painting’ or ‘tracing’ of the nine pieces danced in PLOTTER.

How can dance be archived besides videotaping it? How do we preserve an art form that is meant to be experienced? How do we give these choreographies eternal life?...
