 Inhabited Geometry Choreographed by Mandeep Raikhy November 2 - 15, 2011 India October 30, 2011  A home is not only an empty space limited by walls; it is an inhabited space, full of memories and landmarks for the inhabitant.Inspired by the notion of lived experience of architecture in Gaston Bachelard’s Poetics of Space, INHABITED GEOMETRY aims to define, architecturally and imaginarily, the idea of home. Following Bachelard’s interest in how the human, lived-in experience of architecture affects and shapes its development, Inhabited Geometry engages with the idea of ’home’ simultaneously as a tangible place and a place of dreams. It traces the entire process of inhabiting spaces - first, by mapping and drawing the outlines of the forms, next, by demolishing to construct them again and finally, by breathing personal memories and associations into their geometry. Inhabited Geometry attempts to create a new vocabulary emerging out of experiments with Bharatanatyam. This piece is essentially an exploration undertaken with seven dancers to paint a picture of an imaginary home.
