In a collision between dance and drawing, the movements of a dancer are transformed into a series of lines drawn live by the Australian visual artist Rochelle Haley. ‘Gesture & Trace’ investigates drawing as an embodied and performance based activity. At the heart of this project is the reciprocity between the body, motion and line.
