Recorded at a recent panel event at the RA, this podcast explores bodily experience – how our perception and comprehension of the world is developed through the body and movement – through conversation. Bringing together varied knowledge and expertise in dance, architecture and urban space, the discussion explores new links between these disciplines and our experience.
