On the Ropresentation of Space

• This article is an examination of the specific spatial characteristics of the circus discipline vertical rope. Starting from the assumption that we cannot compare the spatial characteristics of arieal disciplines to dance until we have understood the discipline's internal spacial articulation, this article leaves the floor in order to go into that space, above, often vaguely understood as "in the air". This articles describes the space that the vertical rope articulates as a a set of interweaving tensions, activated and intensified by the movement of the human body in the rope.
