… email sent to Lauren… Here is the working score, let me know what you think

There will be two performance (maybe a third). The performances will be performed asynchronously and inform one another.

círculos describiendo un cuerpo
cuerpo descubriendo un círculo
circulos de sonidos multi-temporales

circles describing a body
body describing a circle
multi-temporal sound circles

Alejandro’s body is described by the circles it can trace, by their widths and cycles. Their body then embodies them through movement. A memory of a drum~circle between cicadas, salsa, reggaeton & house music while they played their rhythm sticks & laid in the grass in Humboldt park emerges. Alejandro performs these gestures asynchronously.

círculos describiendo un cuerpo:
circles describing a body:
i make circles on the window with different parts of my body, (finger, hand, arm… etc). I will smear makeup or ink on the body part before making the circle on the window.

cuerpo descubriendo un círculo
body describing a circle:
i then take some of the movements generated while making the circles in the glass and embody those circles.

the performances toggles back and forth between those two (three).

multi-temporal sound circles

círculos de sonidos multi-temporales
multi-temporal sound circles.

while listening to a live sound (or recorded) soundscape (from humboldt park perhaps), I play with my rhythm sticks. weaving the tempos (temporalities) of the sounds of cicadas, the sound of music, and the sounds of the gallery.

the circles, an archive of their body’s touch,
are tracing of the movements
the circles, r windows or portals
