BRENDAN FERNANDES AIMS TO HIGHLIGHT THE VARIOUS MEANINGS THAT THE BODY CAN ENCAPSULATE: IT IS BOTH A KIND OF OBJECT, ENDOWED WITH CULTURAL MEANING, VIEWED BY OTHERS AND LABOURED ON BY OURSELVES. HE INVESTIGATES HOW MOVEMENT TECHNIQUES ARE RECALLED IN THE BODY VIA MUSCLE MEMORY AND EXPLORES THIS PHENOMENON THROUGH CULTURAL DANCE, BALLET, AND THE LANGUAGES THAT PRESCRIBE DIRECTIONS FOR DANCERS TO MOVE.
