disDance 11054.80
Abstract:
disDance 11054.80
The proposed project involves two geographically separated, distinct, performances which influence each other’s progress using a novel networked connection system. The audience at each site (one performance would take place in Cardiff and the other will be hosted at LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore) will directly experience only the physical elements of the activity at their site, but because of the disruptions to and changes in the presented material, will be aware that its progress is inscribed by events in an unseen performance - a hidden rationale. Each performance determines the structural unfolding of the other producing a non-linear narrative, at each end of the disDance, referring to immediate place yet simultaneously bearing witness to a connection, to distance and remoteness.
The content of each performance will be choreographed and devised by Heidi Saarinen (dance, articulations of space) and Ian Willcock (digital materials and sound) through a collaborative, exploratory process working with small groups of performers in each location. These processes will include sustained networked contact (through Skype); the project acknowledges that the process of making a performance begins well before the actual presentation itself and seeks to integrate networks into the preparatory phases as well as those activities actually presented to audiences. The performance will last for approximately 20 minutes.
