movement

by Lucia Biondi and Teddy Tedholm.Their improvisation is based on movement scores in the above book. The scores were made from writing and plotting data from my own body. The movements of Teddy and Lucia were processed into lines and points and plotted to produce graphical scores for sound.

performance


Movement performed by Tamara Denson to score 3 and score 4. Scores were selected based on how she was feeling before each performance. The improvised movement is created by hearing sounds (generated from data from other dancers) and by seeing the score for movement.

documentation


Sound installation: ambisonic set mixed for 7.1 speaker system. Ambisonic is an ideal way to display sound because it embodies the multiplicity inherent to understanding gender politics, just as ambisonic installations do. There is flexibility for change in a perpetual reorientation of the self/speaker array in response to people, things, and space.  The person is the same, the audio input is the same, but the physical expression changes everything (i.e., moving from private headphone space to multi-channel loudspeaker array in a gallery space).
