MEDIATHEK

Non-Binary Sound (After Pauline Oliveros) is a video score developed within the frame of the "Trans Practice" project initiated by elena rose light.

The video is intended to be experienced within the context of an online zine, a platform where various outcomes from the artist's residency in STUDIO2 are brought together, creating a cohesive artistic work.
The title of the zine is gender euphoria - a trans dance practice and can be accessed here.

 Description of the score:

"Find your voice's lowest pitch. Find your voice's higher pitch. Allow them to dialogue, with your body movement supporting the sound. Over time, let your voice(s) reach a synthesis of sound and movement beyond the binary."

More about the residency in Studio 2:
 "My name is elena. I use they/them pronouns and was born and raised in Southern California’s occupied Chumash lands. I am white, trans, and nonbinary. I work with body-based practices to create performance situations that hopefully begin to shift some of Western culture’s embedded social structures. At STUDIO2, I’m excited to continue my research into what a “trans practice” might be, using their media archive to identify queer survival strategies within performance. I plan to write a series of scores out of this research. For now, I’m just excited to see where it goes!"

More about the "Trans Practice" project:

"How is transness already a disruption with cishetero, patriarchal choreographies of the body? This research project culminated in a series of scores for singing/moving/ritualizing, developed through casual studio visits with friends of the artists. The research project is ongoing and proposes to continue building a body of movement scores that document trans life and the practices that these lives engender."
