Wire Loop investigates an expanded notion of choreography. From mushroom to bicycle, this research brings together two projects that consider choreography through material practice and performance. The aim is to bring disparate matter into relation, creating patterns of coordination, as well as discord and juxtaposition. The work cycles through different kinds of activity and motion, operating across various temporal rhythms and scales. Wire Loop explores how movement can be integrated within a system—how a gesture might trigger or respond to something else.
This research draws on Karen Barad’s theory of agential realism and their proposition that individual entities are not separate determinately bound objects but rather entangled parts of phenomena. This informs my understanding of choreography as enacting systems of relation and connectivity.
