HOW IT WORKS // WHAT YOU’LL SEE, HEAR, AND FEEL:  

Using handheld technology, participating performers will respond to each other’s movements across time and space.

Each performer is instructed to create an instant, spontaneous composition in response to the particularities of their own location and subjective experience, filming certain elements to share with other performers. This score has been performed at the Museum Perron Oost in Amsterdam and at the International Dance Theatres Festival in Lublin, Poland.
