This process-based work questions around the problematics of resonance and affects that the attention to aurality carry to the performer in the act of creation and on the spectator’s experience.
It is essential to question, in the context of Expanded Choreography, the nature of participation through a performative modus operandi.
Including, addressing, exposing, disorienting, questioning and problematizing proximity, intimacy, distance, representation, production of memories and cultural porousness.

To listen is to enter in the spatiality by which, at the same time, I am penetrated. To be listening is to be inside as well as outside, to open from without and from within, hence from one to the other as from one in the other. It creates a condition as such: sharing an inside/outside, division and participation, de-connection and contagion. (Nancy & Mandell, 2007, 14)


Through Performance Practice we interrogate the concept of spheres within spheres as a modality for creation:
the sphere of the kinaesthetic, the auditory, the relational sphere in the act of co-creation with the spectators.
The sphere of the kinaesthetic involves somatic perceptivity, choreographic creation and performance practice,
the auditory sphere includes instantaneous creation of looping synthetic vocality, in between non-sensical and sensical
the relational sphere questions the notion of audience participation through a mediated experience.
The spectators are challenged in the act of Epopteia (from the Greek word εποπτεία), which entangles the act of “looking over/through”, as the artist leaves the space for the spectators' agency.

A final discussion and conversation will articulate findings, explaining the context and concept, contemplating how the Performance Practice is evolving through time.
