PERFORMANCE KIT

PERFORMANCE KIT is a study based on a specific dispositif of performance: a prerecorded audio score guiding and influencing the performer step by step on stage.
We use this basic principle of “instant guidance” to question the moment of performance itself and all the processes of decision making that are at stake on the stage. The motor of our quest: creating a Kit for performing.
From October 2011 till June 2012, we will be working from several angles on the problematics brought by the Kit.

In a few words, what is Performance Kit?

a kit ready-to-use:
a stage/ a performer/an audience + some instructions recorded beforehand by the authors.
a score waiting to be actualized.
a performance half-virtual, half-real, that no one will ever be able to get totally.
a subconscious guide for performing.
an instant show.
a treasure hunt.
an audio-guide for the stage.
a survival operation in the scenic environment : once it has started it cannot be stopped.
a study on the sociological implications of the act of performing.
a study on the triangular relation spectator-performer-author.
a study on the know-how of a performer.
a new approach to authorship.
a tool for analysis.
a new way of working.
an open-source research.
