Only when you feel it

Description

Only when you feel it is a new performance installation project for open space that aims to embody the notion of social influence. Based on voice, movement and the human ability to sense each other, a group of performers, including myself and a collaborator sound designer, will test how people are governed by momentum, resistance and flow.

During the residency I focus on the initial task – to move only when you feel it.The when is an indication that movement and sound will appear and disappear and it is the momentum generated by the other performers. For me, this task awakens the ability to tune into each other and expand the limits of sensing. Wanting to test the border of when I do something because I feel it and when I act because something moves me. I question how much are we true to an inner self stimulated agency of sensing and how much are weinfluenced by what we see and hear around us?
