Travelogue

dance + installation

2012

More questions than answers.

Travelogue uses art as a means of exploration, more questions than answers.

Travelogue explores the absence of hierarchy.

Travelogue develops from the simultaneous presentation of artistic activities, performances, music, dance and actions.

Travelogue examines whether equitable coexistence is possible and whether this could constitute a first step toward balanced cooperation.

Travelogue is conceptualized as an open space, a walk-in dance-theater installation that, through repetition of its individual segments from each participating artist and their established score, creates an imposing and idiosyncratic dynamic.

Interaction in the conventional sense does not occur. Interaction exists.

The media of dance, installation, text, film, live projection, performance, and music (suite for toy piano / compositions for prepared piano by John Cage) form the segments of this dance-theater analysis.

Travelogue is applied as a complex, ongoing concept that invites new artists, integrates new aspect and themes depending on the artists involved and the place of performance, thereby becoming a traveling, constantly changing, globally-oriented entity itself.

Travelogue is inspired by John Cage's spirit: a democratic concept in which the simultaneity and independence of several juxtaposed arts are investigated.
