Form Follows Feel
On Book I, Chapter II of De Architectura (The Ten Books on Architecture, 1st Century B.C.), Marcus Vitruvius Polio declared that "in the human body there is a kind of symmetrical harmony between forearm, foot, palm, finger, and other small parts; and so it is with perfect buildings." This is further elaborated on Book III, Chapter I, which led to the famous drawing by Leonardo DaVinci.
Contrary to the Vitruvian ideal, human bodies are rarely perfectly symmetrical and proportional, but rather diverse, unique, and imperfect.
Dance is a trial and error process of experimentation, starting from the inside, reflected on the outside.
Form follows feel.
