In contrast to Re:Positioning Fear, however, this disembodiment is here deployed in the service of a broader aesthetic aim—that of creating the possibility for a form of communion rooted in a technically facilitated kinesthetic space, a technically generated space of intercorporeity that embodies the indivision ensuing from the dissolution of the corporeal schema. To this end, Body Movies expressly solicits collective participation and, through it, the emergence of unpredictable behaviors. As Alex Adriaansens and Joke Brouwer describe it, Body Movies invited people on the square, up to 50 of them at a time, “to embody different representational narratives," thereby allowing them to create “a collective experience that nonetheless allowed discrete individual participation (Adriaansens and Brower)."
