You Make Me Feel Like Dancing:On how coloured illuminations make us move in space

Light and colour are fundamental to the creation and experience of<br/>space. Whether consciously or not, architecture, landscapes, and urban design<br/>deal with light and colour by giving shape and form to our lived environment for<br/>us humans to perceive - ultimately setting a starting point for our experience<br/>and being in space (Lam 1977; Charalambous and Djebbara 2023). As such light<br/>and colour not only hold potential to attune spaces - the effect goes for bodies<br/>too.<br/><br/>This presentation argues for how the attuning potential of coloured<br/>illuminations go beyond giving shape and form to our lived environment, by also<br/>attuning the human body towards particular modes of movement. In this regard,<br/>the presentation ultimately highlights the attuning power of coloured<br/>illuminations to influence human perception, experience and behaviour in space.
