Acting Auditory explores the links between performance and audio both of which have a definition outside of pure art in acting and music, the question is how deep does their relationship run. 

Music can and has been severed from the performer through the processes of recording or computer generation, however there remains a human aspect in the manipulation of sound. Does this act of manipulation retain and uphold ideas of performance? 

Performance, essentially movement, generates its own sounds. It reveals weight, speed, and materiality through contact with the world.

If the two are severed what is the result and together how do they relate? Will one dominate the other or are they in harmonious relation working at different levels to create a whole experience.

Surge explores the emergence of early adulthood and the impending arrival of awareness and sexuality. Examining race and gender roles, Surge investigates Western culture’s impact upon the notion of love between men and women and same sex relationships, blurring aggression and tender sexuality and the confrontation of the male gaze.

Understood as a purely human concern, this enquiry into innate tendencies towards lived experience explores the illogical leap between the nature of matter and the act of attributing meaning to it. A product of countless close discussions undertaken during a 6 month stay in Berlin in 2011, meaning/matter will harness an open interaction between discipline and point of view.

Blessed be the infinite form that illuminates the will of understanding.

Let us systemize our threads of meaning,

so that we might understand that each of us is a point in space;

a branch on the tree of binary space partitioning.

Let us be guided to a set of intersecting points

and seek orbital momentum in all aspects of being.

May computational geometry and linear algebra bless our perception.

May we come together and know we are together.

May we sufficiently compact mass

to form a super conductor,

making new light in another dimension.

Field of gravity give us your fundamental power,

illuminating time with relativity.

Lets us maintain the entanglement of our particles

and harmonize our entities interaction.

Know that to be a cosmological constant

one must oscillate with dynamic instability.

Somewhere between light and dark is the truth of who and what we are. There is no sense in showing darkness without beauty or gorging ourselves on the beatific without the pain that is part of everyday reality. We’re caught in a sphere of great familiarity and at the same time, a great distance. A sphere where the past and present have been removed and all that remains is a cutout pretending to be something more than the stillness of the moment.
