Body cinema: Origami Dance
Origami is a traditional Asian art of paper folding. The name Origami is inherited from the Japanese culture, and the craft itself is usually perceived of Japanese origins. But historians think that origami was invented between 1st and 2nd Century AC in China, then spread to Japan sometime during the sixth Century.
However, the skill itself has been kept in its traditional form, but also have many varieties in nowadays papercraft, of which Cubeecraft got a cult status in the internet community… How to combine visual and constructional aspects of origami with dance, you can check in a film I picked up today.
