Ligna, Radio Ballet, 2003

In the seminar on Monday 10th February, there were various site specific performances shown to the class in the format of pre performance, performance and post performance. In the section of ‘performance’ the Radio Ballet performance caught my attention as it linked in with my groups’ idea of how sound from the headphones had been interpreted by the participants. My groups’ idea was to also use sound in this way to find out if the participants register the same kind of concept as each other with the use of movement/body language just by hearing the instructions from the headphones.

Also, their performance is based in public places such as shopping centres and this builds a correlation with the performance we will give as our performance will also be in a shopping centre where the public can take part if they wish to. Site Specific can be seen to deal with the use of ‘space’ and with this one of the focus points of the Radio Ballet was the dispersion of their participants as well as to entertain the public. This is what my group aim to do as in using headphones; the participants will be positioned in various parts of the shop or maybe even be positioned in the shopping centre.
