I have used the imaginative process of Ideokinesis, as an embodied and performed
methodology, where my work is in direct dialogue with a unique system of movement and
postural training developed by Mabel Todd, Barbara Clark, and Lulu Sweigard. Its
functioning is not with ‘actual’ movement but with virtual and imagined movement – it thus
calls on memory and imagining. These processes have resulted in two outcomes: a
sequence of narratives arranged as Acts of remembering – a saturation in words, images, and
imaginings – and the creation of a theatrical performance, which engages with what language
and ideas actually feel like. How they feel and how they look depend not only upon the nature
of my own embodied experience but on the remanent embodied experiences of those who
view the artefact.
