How to Performer


Performer mode”

  • The rigid body
  • Not performer but human being relating in space
  • Relaxed but keeping sense of readiness
  • Always having ability to change

State of not knowing

  • Starting before you are ready
  • Mobilizing while doing/doing instead of planning to do
  • "SATS" gathering momentum/energi to take a risk

    Jaques Tati - "Playtime"


    Example at viewpoints and great example on relating in space to the space.

     


    Design process


    Alida

    • Being messy
    • Being open
    • Less is more
    • Allowing things to change + letting go
    • Taking in the room and relating to the things in it
    • Letting words reach your partner/room (like a hook catching something and reeling it in)
    • Letting go of control without loosing control
    • Not too much too fast and too soon
    • Registering your body inside and outside and controlling it

    Voice 


    • Potentials of voice (overtones, growling, vocal fry, Bukcle sounds (Donald Duck), Breathwork etc. 
    • Voice as an interaction with space 
    • Avoiding running from your voice but instead reacting and relating to it 
    • How to listen even with a set form (meeting the moment instead of focussing too much on your work) 
    • Finding the tension in the text - with singing there is tension in every vowel - can it be so with text 
    • Finding the suprise in the text 
    • Finding the intimacy (how do you bring people in to what you are doing)

    Example of overtones and how to do them - Anna-Maria Hefele

    How to fail 


    • Impossible tasks
    • Seeking failure letting audience in on crisis (commenting)
    • Speaking without knowing what to say
    • Sticking with things that do not work
    • Nonchalance about being on stage

    Not worrying about the great ideas "there are no great ideas" - instead go with what you need to do

    An example of an impossible task was to try and balance very uneven objects on each other
