Icosahedron from Three Golden Rectangles
Icosahedron from Three Golden Rectangles
The Laban Icosahedron is one of the most renowned physical structures in dance. It is named after Rudolf Laban (1879-1958), who applied the five regular 3D objects to “harmonic” movement sequences, names “scales”.
The Icosahedron, upon which Laban bases his scales of movement, has been used in choreography as a framework for dance routines for many decades.
Along with this small icosahedron with three golden rectangles, this exhibition also features a sculpture of a life-size icosahedron with live dance performance inspired by Laban movement analysis, with the Icosahedron forms the focal point of the piece, with performers explore the underlying principles of movement.

As physical spaces remain shut and audiences head online, we have tried for the first time to hold an Instagram-based exhibition, @go.around.pop.
To add extra depth and interactivity, we created a short video of backstory for each item. This backstory video is 12 seconds long without sound.
