Improvisation
Performance
What is a performance and why. If I am trying to resist standardised practices, and formal hierarchies of music and performance how am I to do that in the context of a performance where I, the musician are set upon a stage for all to see and revere for a mastery of a practice.
Multitude of outputs in an effort to dissolve the sole agent or work.
A more direct breakdown of lines between performer and spectator (not in a gimmicky way?) and the disruption of designated performance time and object. How in a traditional context can you subvert the objectivity of the performer and the performance. How can you expand a performance area and/or tool into non conventional space.
For me this can manifest as a performance with intentional distractions, that also influence me the performer. Rather than the audience being brought onto the stage as practiced by other "interactive" performance practices, I would like to drag their conscious attention away from me and to improvisational tools around the space. That way there is a distraction to me as performer, and them as interactor.
To suggest improvisational technique I would like to have a way to give the improvaudience member a way to make their own disruption. I want to emphasise the fragility of improvisation, the responsibility of action and the possibility for alternative mastery leading to deeper engagements. Building on the idea that a listener is as much an improviser as the performance improviser I would like this to be disruptive to my control on stage.
