nomadism

Concept: Constructing paths of relations (routes) for navigating the assemblage. Bodies and subjectivities are considered as always shifting and being affected, traversing through material engagement. Through these material embodiments and flows, a one yet many, multitudinous body emerges.

 

Aim:

• To undo the fixed essentialised notion of ones’ own body and subjectivity as ‘home’ (fixed and singular). Instead allowing for shifting homes as bodies co-habituate and move and flow from one to another.

​

• To look at human bodies and their subjectivities as nomadic and multiple

​

• To create a multitudinous body with shifting homes by creating contingent paths of relations (fixed positions of identity)

​

 

Method:

1) Fixed-flowing scores for participation where there is guidance for the action but allows     for playfulness.

​

2) No fixed route of moving from one intervention/action to another, but giving space for     participants to choose their paths of relation. No point A to B movements,                       interconnected paths.

​

3) Create scores that invite and inspire participants to engage with the object. Remember     to make the scores simple and clear to allow for accessibility to the action with objects.

​

4) Create moments of bodies leaving and entering, engaging and being pulled by               something else (eg. audio or video or another action/movement in space).

​

5) Compositionally attend to the flows of rests and speeds of bodies, to create a constant     shifting, displacement, temporary settling of bodies.
