In Terms of Performance — Duration — André Lepecki André Lepecki, a scholar and curator of performance, is associate professor in the department of performance studies at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. Duration is not time extended. Actually duration has little to do with extension or other spatial references—this was Henri Bergson’s insight in Time and Free Will (1889). There, duration simultaneously names both time’s “essence” and a very particular experience of time, rare and difficult: that of a quasi-unmediated exchange between a conscious subject and the plane of matter, in which “the communicative surface between the ego and external objects” endures a profound transformation and in which time is no longer measured, assessed, inserted into an economy but is felt.

Artist's Statement of dancer and choreographer Alice Chauchat Artist's Statement "Dance is for me an experimental frame in which I can think and practice, together with other people, a social and entangled subjectivity: I-as-part-of-we, I-through-we, I-in-we. This is not an independent 1st person perspective, but a 1st person singular that exists within and in relation to a 1st person plural.
Synesthésie P(AR)ticipate: body of experience/body of work/body as archive What do you think, feel, how do you move? Social theorist and philosopher Brian Massumi (2002) claims that when we are in motion we undergo intuitive experiences and interactions with the environment. We forego the linguistic models of coding and try to find a “semiotics willing to engage with continuity” (Massumi 2002, 4). It is in this ever present kinesis, movement and change that we experience things. The body unfolds in its own transition, its own variation supporting philosopher Merleau-Ponty’s idea that this is how we anchor our bodies to the world, expressing and functioning in spaces of “muddy, unmediated relatedness” (Gregg and Seigworth 2010, 4, cited in Kozel 2012, 91). Film theorist Rudolph Arnheim (1957) furthers the idea and claims that our eyes constantly work in cooperation and are connected with the rest of the moving body.
Geeta Dutt: Five Definitive Recordings Of the great playback singers of the golden era of Bollywood cinema, no one quite exudes the sad beauty of Geeta Dutt. Her melancholic demeanour and quivering voice reflected the personal tragedies that cemented her reputation as Bollywood’s ultimate tragic heroine. Her turbulent marriage to director and actor, Guru Dutt, which ended with his suspected suicide in 1964, was followed by her decline into alcoholism and death from cirrhosis of the liver in 1972 at the age of 41.

Music of the Spheres – A Conversation with Dan Tapper / @dantappersound Dan Tapper is a British artist based in Toronto that combines his interest in code and celestial form. In the past he has mapped sonic geographies, created documentaries about Very Low Frequency (VLF) sound, and explored the poetry of code. This past August CAN attended Turbulent Forms an exhibition at the Canadian Music Centre that presenting Tapper’s visualizations of cosmic phenomena. Alongside these artworks there was a performance, presenting the artist alongside several composers – all of them playing sonifications or cosmic data inflected techno and electroacoustic compositions. The Making of Orizuru Room a Traditional Japanese Origami Installation Concept Manazuru was named after a crane due to the fact that its shape on a map very much resembles a crane. Our goal was making an installation that symbolized Manazuru, so we decided to feature origami cranes for our art work. We placed importance in collaborating on this project with locals in Manazuru and so we asked the Orizuru Association and a grand master to support us and we made origami cranes together. "Orizuru" means a crane made with origami.
