Synonym of “sketch” and used to refer to a project with vaguely defined contours and details, or

Occupying with movement and dance spaces traditionally reserved for visual arts, archaeological and documentary heritage, we seek a dialogue between the material and the immaterial, the plausible and the ephemeral, legacy and vitality.
