Lawrence,
Besides books which are very few indeed, there are the works of Oskar
Schlemmer who was the head of the Theatre Department at the Bauhaus (early
20c). His preoccupation was "Man in Space". He set-up mini performances and
demonstrations of the extended energies of a figure on stage (i.e. in
space).

I am both an architect and dancer, and have performed in pieces that involve
the use of drawing in one way or another. Some of my works have been
created on stage as a backdrop to the movement. Others have been outdoor
studies with paper mounted against a wall or placed right on the ground.
Locations range from art galleries to public squares to the small
confinements of a shop window.
