According to the framework of evolutionary aesthetics, a sense of beauty is related to environmental adaptation and plasticity of human beings, which has adaptive value and biological foundations. The Embodied Landscape will be a site-specific season of contemporary work, with a focus on creating platforms from which independent artists can develop and present diverse works from the geographic and cultural sites of the Mallee, with the genesis of ideas and concepts borne from a cross cultural view point. The vision for MAP Rainbow is to create a platform for spontaneous, innovative and thought-provoking work that embraces interdisciplinary art practices with a strong conceptual element surrounding themes of regencies.
The Embodied Landscape provides the thematic line to explore choreographic language, challenge, dialogue and engagement. This process will incorporate new choreographic and conceptual challenges creating an intrinsic, interactive relationship with the festivals geographical location and finding ways in which these interdisciplinary mediums can further connect and extend the conceptual themes.
