In Manuel en mouvement, Simone Forti shares the events that have nourished and moved her throughout her life, from her earliest childhood memories to her meetings with Anna Halprin and the future founders of the Judson Dance Theater, to her improvisational pieces and observations of animals and landscapes. His drawings, poems, theoretical texts, correspondence, scores and performance photographs create a new language that inspires a desire to explore the many forms and behaviors of the living.
