Event overview
Sound Choreography <> Body Code - Sicchio and McLean: a joint talk and performance confronting boundaries between computational scores and live action.
Sicchio and McLean
Kate Sicchio and Alex McLean will compare computer programming and choreography from perspectives of liveness, spaces, notation and embodiedness.
The talk will introduce and lead into a live coded and live choreographed performance "Sound Choreography <> Body Code", which creates a feedback loop through code, music, choreography, dance and back through code:
- Diagrammatic choreography reacts and reconfigures in response to music;
- The dancer interprets the live choreography as an embodied computer;
- Both the edits of the live coder and the movements of the dancer modifies the code which creates the music.
The result is a resonance through sound, movement, perception and language, a live flow of influence forming a whole system. As complexity increases, the limits of language and the body are reached beyond, where the character of the whole system is exposed.
The live choreography and code is projected for the audience, so cycles of linguistic and diagrammatic construction and destruction can be observed, alongside the analogue development in music and dance.
