The causes, forms, and results of nomadism and its effects on the body are examined with examples. The choreography study and movement design research were based on the condition that especially the immigrants from the Middle East who crossed the Storskog border between Russia and Norway using an unlicensed bicycle, where only vehicle-free passage was prevented as per the regional laws. While conducting thesis and work studies inspired by the aforementioned migration movement, defining the concept of migration which is the ancient issue of humanity, scanning and examining the works located at the intersection of migration and art fields have been determined as the primary research method.
