ARRAY OF OPPOSITES
ARRAY OF OPPOSITES is an ongoing body of research meandering through the perceptual body and exists as a workshop, writing, sonic/musical landscapes, interactive participatory performance visuals and animation.
ARRAY of OPPOSITES immersive sonic/visual performance. CHAPTER CARDIFF EXPERIMENTICA 24
AN ARRAY OF OPPOSITES draws upon evolutionary/involutionary developmental resonance and other forms of animal/ plant and other life.
Attuning through an "Array of Opposites”, navigating a dance to reconfigure ourselves perceptually
-as symmetrical & asymmetrical, thinking & feeling organisms.
-through continuity & discontinuity.
-shapeshifting between the transformative impressions and sensual mutations between forms.
Channelling spectrums and spectres of our subjective/objective perceptions- combining dance, dialogue, voice, drawing and writing. How can we inhabit our lives and bodies through a survival which navigates though the complexities of symbiotic relationship rather than adverse reactions of flight, freeze or flight.
We will channel a personally responsive dance to inhabit the “quest” in the question.
Sometimes we hear it said:
"On the spectrum"
Yet it is not simply a spectrum
between improvisation and composition,
between somatically responsive and choreographed specificity.
“Opposition is True Friendship”
William Blake.
