Stage plan drawings
2014
Approaching the empty page of a black hand-bound book as a stage, Stage plan drawings reproduces in the form of graphic drawings, developed from choreographic Banesh notations, dancers’ patterns and formations for Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker and for Britten’s Young Apollo. The viewer is invited to browse the book whilst listening to the recorded sound of dancers ‘steps on stage. An interplay between public and private spaces is at play in the display of the work: from the public moment of a performance to the singular act of reception of the viewer in the gallery space, back to the public as an online digital format for the book; here the singularity of reception is preserved via the one to one encounter of the work on the computer screen.
Stage plans is an artist book (hand-bound book courtesy of Denise Hawrysio) and sound installation, originally conceived for Book Act a project by AMBruno for the exhibition at The Tetley in Leeds, it was shown with Graphic Traces installation for acts/reacts 2014 at Wimbledon Space.
