Movement on a grid

We drew a precisely measured grid on the studio floor to use as a tool to create choreography that would be accurately symmetrical. In our group of four we measured and marked dots on the grid to represent the exact distance between each movement. From this I realised how much certain elements of maths are important in dance, as holding the correct spacing in a group dance is really important in order to reach a high quality standard. Although not many choreographers would spend time measuring accurate spacing, Wayne McGregor often uses maths and science as a bases for his choreography.
