I recently watched Between The Folds, a documentary about origami (available for instant play on netflix).
This film is well worth watching since origami has the potential of being very useful across various populations. I can imagine a client with Asperger’s, for example, or someone who enjoys working with 3D media, taking a strong interest in paper folding as a form of self expression. Coupled with the idea of damp paper folding and paper making, with all of its looseness and tactility, this media seems like an interesting way to play with structured versus unstructured, and spontaneous play versus preciseness.
And why don’t they teach math using origami, as the film suggests?
Here’s the trailer to wet your palate:
