MOVING OUT LOUD
Performance by artist Britt Hatzius in collaboration with Krishna Washburn, Pernille Sonne, Cecilia Ponteprimo, Gerlinde Sämann, Livia Vogt.
MOVING OUT LOUD is an experience of dance without the sense of sight. In small groups, with eyes closed, the audience finds itself in the middle of the stage, immersed in a sonically playful landscape of descriptive voices and moving bodies. Developed together with blind and sighted dancers, the performance artistically deals with (self-)audio description and the potential empathic resonance in the acoustic perception of dance.
The encounter between different protagonists, voices and bodies offers a playful examination of the question of how movement can be experienced beyond the visual aspect of dance. Amid audible stage presence of the dancers, and without visual reference, the audience is presented with a very individual idea of dance and body perception. Starting with blind ballet dancer Krishna Washburn’s teaching method of self-audio description in her online Dark Room Ballet workshops, Britt Hatzius explored the acoustic potential of a non-visual sensation of dance in her research together with blind performer Pernille Sonne, blind singer Gerlinde Sämann, sighted dancers Cecilia Ponteprimo and Livia Vogt. With this performance, she makes this shared exploration accessible to a sighted and non-sighted audience through the immersive sound installation OTTOsonics.
