Event overview
A dance performance screening and a neuroscience study.
NEUROLIVE would like to invite you to be a participant-audience for a screening of the live performance recording of Detective Work, a dance duet created by Seke Chimutengwende with Stephanie McMann at the Goldsmiths cinema (former Curzon Goldsmiths).
This event is also a neuroscience experiment, where you will be seated in the Goldsmiths cinema to watch the performance recording of Detective Work, filmed and edited by Eleanor Sikorski. During this, the NEUROLIVE team will also record your neurophysiological signals: electroencephalography (EEG), breathing and skin conductance.
About Detective Work
'...the irresistible pull of mystery’ (Ben Kulvichit, Exeunt Magazine)
Detective Work is a new duet, choreographed by Seke Chimutengwende in collaboration with Steph McMann, which explores choreography as a process of creating and solving mysteries.
The performance is a web of fragmented scenes and dances that occur and reoccur in ever-changing permutations. Working in counterpoint to one another, the performers come at the material from every angle, rearranging the evidence in different configurations.
Detective Work channels the relationship between mystery and multiplicity – the sense that there are many possible outcomes to any single process. Shifting between the absurd, the melancholic and the uncanny, the show invites us into a place of constant questioning that ultimately feels hopeful. In this moment of great uncertainty, Detective Work looks to mystery as an antidote to despair.
NEUROLIVE is a 5-year interdisciplinary research project bringing artists, scientists and audiences together to study what makes live experiences special. Detective Work is the first live performance created as part of this research.
