hanging upwards IPP2

Walking around Kenilworth with my senses opened made me think about all the materials around us, whare they are, their shapes, colors, position...and everything is actually hanging upwards...

What si that force that makes us hanging upwards? why is everything evolving uprads?

IPP2 - research

Installation art in the new millenium

• works by artists who crtitically engaged with the experience of human perception, who tested limits and expanded its possibilities ----> modernization of European thought
• awareness of a double-sideness of perceptual experience: external techniques and practices and capabilities of the observer's own body and nervous system
• the use of machines, media and technologies---->creating unanticipated spaces and environments where our visual and intellectual habits are challenged or disrupted.
• if art is about technology, this means that my brother is witnessing every day art form by making the RMI of thousands of people who come into the clinique with serious distorsions, transformations, mutilations...
• investigating the relationship between artist and audience
• public-private spaces

Crossing Borders

Ros Warby – Creating work from the practice of performance

   Making , not attaching to anything, eliminating any task...taste what I haven't taste before (I find this challenging)

•  Her key for identifying her interest- in relation to sound (composer, designer) is self observation in relation to different moments that just happen and again not attaching to any set idea. The composer and the designer just do what they do and at some point the dialogue becomes common. The music fixes the piece and the dance goes flexible around the design and sound, so teh dance represents the most flexible element of her performances.
•  She thinks that the question is not about the relation between dance and sound (I don't agree with this afirmation at the moment, as I respond naturally to music, I think this is a challenge for me).
• Trying to find tricks to sustain those moments of attention, a person who thinks through ideas, phrases, communicate verbaly what you are making, being able to say it out., it is tricky because you need not to limit your ideas in order to giving it a certain shape.
•  Dealing with inside and outside as a choreographer.
•   How do I start into a studio without having any idea? This is a question to myself as I enjoyed all workshops we have done, it's not about picking up a certain path?
•  It's about trusting the intelectual management?
•   Allow the ideas to come from the body...imaginitive capacity...give yourself the possibility of happening by trusting yourself.
•   Her performances are not shaped, but they have pathways...the voice is part of the body, so it is not fixed
•   Including the audience in her visual field
• I am lucky to study in this university, to have these teachers, I learn from them, I get experience, this frames me, prepares me for being a performer/dancer...I do celebrate that!
•  The idea of performance as a practice, and learning from it! You don't need rehearsals or warm-up, you just experience. I feel a bit scared of it as I never thought of a performance like that, without ideas or rehearsals, but I think it will be challenging for me to try, but then I would feel like "it" is not developed, there wouldn't be extended and clear enough...
•  Being a solo artists ( exactly what we have to do for the IPP2) underlines the possibilites

Form and compositional structures

This study is for the IPP2 final "sketch"...I will post some quotes that I found interesting.

• "form is present throughout nature, in all the forces of the universe, in all stages of life"
• "forming devices: cycles, progressions, stages of development" (water cycle, evvolution of species, structure of the stars and galaxies)-this one gave me some ideas about [H2].
• process of developing material and process of giving it a structure
• "choreographic devices are ways of developing nuggets of movement, enriching and extending an initial movement in order to build a greater body of choreographic material, by manipulating and amplifying the main material"
• "developing and filling out movement seeds"
• organic form- natural growth patterns, like a flower that progresses from seed, to sprout, to plant, to blossom and them to seed again...
• AB form- contrast and variety---> unity
• narrative- the use of stories
• collage- assorted bits and pieces of material (juxtaposition, etc)
• theme and variation- movement phrase repeated a number of times with different shadings.
