INTERACTIVE SOUND INSTALLATION WITH 3 SCORES

2025 | Esplanade Annexe
body scores is a series of intimate listening propositions that reorient attention inward and between bodies. Each score invites performer or participant to listen through skin, cartilage, airways, and viscera. The projection surfaces are composed of cured liquid latex cast from the artist’s body and skin.

i am still, but my body is still moving

listen deeply to your body.

place your fingers in your ears to cover all external noise
apply pressure
stay very still
listen to the deep vibrations in your body, the slow creaking of your finger joints, your skin shifting against itself (describe the sounds you hear)

ii - with a friend

face each other
place your fingers to cover your friend’s ears
listen to their hands, your body and its interactions

iii - variations with friends

sit in a circle
place your fingers to cover your friend’s ears
listen to their hands, your body and its interactions

my body tells me i am the sea, but i can touch my nose

you are performing only for your body.

in a quiet place, listen deeply and use its sounds as a movement score.

you can do this upright, lying down, or in whatever position is most comfortable.

put in ear plugs
close your eyes after you’ve understood the score
breathe slowly and deeply in and out, maintain this breathing
locate and listen to the source of air/sound
swallow
stretch all of your moveable body
locate and listen to the source of the sound
use sound to draw the boundaries of the body
use all sound as a score for movement - both creating sound and listening to it
…
end the piece by touching your nose

i am close to you, i am inside your body

place your ear on your partner’s abdomen
get into a comfortable position
listen deeply

ii - variations with friends

get into a perpendicular T shape with your head turned and your left ear on your friend’s abdomen
arrange yourselves so you can comfortably hear their abdomen
