Sculpting the Unspoken (wip)
In the performing arts, the relationship that is established between what is seen and what is heard must be experienced to fully appreciate and understand the aesthetics of performance. Actual physical objects such as musical instruments, lights, elements of the set, props, and people can act as anchor points for storytelling and a tangible reality which can enhance the musical elements in a performance. During this residency and after my practice has been dedicated to develop tools to help Opera travel to territories outside of its traditional repertoire. Motivated by the following questions.
How can Opera creators go beyond the empire of the ear? How can I as an Artist and Creative technologist stretch and expand the definition of an Opera? What interfaces can be created which enable an alternative point of access into a an Operatic narrative?
With the aim of creating more inclusive Operatic experiences. Using my role as a designer to create interfaces that promote interaction between the audience and performer in the Opera house, creating interfaces which are aimed towards creating a multi sensory experience for both singer and audience member.
