NO CHANGE or "freedom is a psycho-kinetic skill"

Autorenschaft
Beschreibung
The microphone promised anything but peace. It is the appendix of the sound intestine, a detector, a stylus, a snake's head and an erotic symbol. In "No Change or ‘Freedom is a psycho-kinetic skill’ " New York choreographer DD Dorvillier examines the mike very carefully. Its stand becomes her body frame, the cable is her whip. On stage with her are dancer Elizabeth Ward and a white piano. A piano player feels his way through soft notes and these ruffle over a little shadow play. "No Change" is a sensual and delicate work from the Big Apple. (Quelle: www.impulstanz.com) "Working between the discourses of sculpture, sound, and choreography, I address the breaks and collapses of language precipitated by scattered sounds and objects in No Change or freedom is a psycho-kinetic skill (2005) choreographed and performed by DD Dorvillier. Her work proposes an improvisational choreography structured from relationships with objects-speakers, microphone stands, computers, cords-transposing the audial into a visual register. The bodies and objects they encounter act as a latent sound score, signifying trajectories not only of movement but of language, playing with feedback, interpretation, and accidental associations. This constant shifting between sculpture-sound-choreography emerges through an improvisational process, proposing a phenomenological animation attentive to the materiality of the objects as triggers of memory and meaning and as an alternative writing, a language inflected by a capacity to play, to break, to be bored, momentarily extending and scattering perceptional experience."
