Performance art has a long engagement with the “score” as a document, to preserve or archive live works, to translate them between artists or enactors, and collaborate across forms. There is an even longer history when considering a score as a text that documents movement, sound, and direction, and yet more applications of the word score in the English language from notches, to 20 of anything, to a GOAL! We win! We digress… In Score! artists create and perform work that engages with the applications and possibilities of a score. Score! is exploration of the ways in which artists use a score in live work and of how that work can be held and shared in a gallery setting.

"Rainy Place" a 30 minute performance by performed as part of Score! “integrates the visual and auditory senses and is deeply rooted in cultural context. One burning candle is turned upside down while the melted wax drips onto white paper - creating a visual and sound effect of rain. Hot candle wax wets the paper as the drop adheres to it creating a slapping sound. Calling for rain is one of the oldest traditions of the Slavic people and has a ritualistic narrative at its core. The performance uses candles as an element of both celebrations and mourning.”

Although it is no substitute for seeing it in person, this photo captures the energy brought to
performance of
PROP 6 from last friday’s night of performances. It is the sixth iteration of his PROP series.

Like the other objects in the PROP series, this one is inspired by the interactions that one has when you read a newspaper. As a duet, this one is about how we share texts with one other person. It asks the players to create a set of scores for the other person. What do we know of each other? What do we ask of one another? How do we share space with a large paper object?

On the cover of PROP 6 is the title and the rules of the score: - Write six parameters/instructions for the other dancer, one instruction on each panel of the paper. To begin the performance, the dancers hand one another the PROP written for them. Each dancer looks at the six instructions and chooses one score to start the performance by folding the paper so the panel is showing as they follow the score. The dancers can choose to move through the six scores on their PROP or they may read over the other dancer’s shoulder and do the score on the panel of their partner’s paper that is facing. Each dancer may signal the end by putting the back cover, which is intentionally left blank, face up.

Can’t stop thinking about performance if “Clockwork” last Friday night. Stop by everyday this week from 2-7 to see the installation of remnants.
Clockwork is a performative prelude to "A Brief Study of Time", a solo installation at Hillyer Art Space opening August 5, 2023. Time is amplified in imperfect and irregular increments in an attempt to measure the present moment.
