Modulation One Dance Performance July 2, 2014

Modulation_one (live-digital dance and augmented sound) asks the dancers to imagine; to be present in the transfer of data; to engage with the mediated/digital as it appears and disappears. 


Modulation_one is the final practical study for Kerry Francksen's PhD and builds upon a recent and developing collaboration with composer Simon Atkinson, film-maker Laura McGregor and dance artist Jodie Davis. Over the past year they have been searching for a way to create environments where acousmatic sound, image and movement can be conceived of as a continually emerging process, where a more dynamic relationship arrives from an engagement in those thresholds in ‘the dimension of the emergent’ (Massumi 2012:34).
