Research Questions
•
Considering that dance is a predominantly visual
art form, how can one create choreography without sight?
•
How can the absence of sight heighten other
senses?
•
How does one experience performance without
sight?
•
How does the use of non-visual scenography
contribute towards the atmosphere?
Aims and Objectives
•
To use objects and locations as stimuli for
improvisation with the absence of sight.
•
To explore how the absence of sight induces our
instinctual movement.
•
To use non-visual scenography to influence the
performance atmosphere.
•
To conduct unseen individual experiments to
further each person’s choreographic development.
•
Enhance our awareness of how trust can build a
strong collaborative team within the creative process.
Methodology
•
Improvisation tasks without sight:
1.
Studio based with unseen objects/materials
2.
Site-specific explorations in unseen locations
•
Devising movement from improvisation experiences
•
Transposing movement into performance context
•
Experimenting with scenography in relation to
heightening the senses of the audience by eliminating sight.
•
Individual explorations/workshops
•
Playing with sounds/speech and touch as
communication methods
