Science as a performance

Everyone’s small performances in the past week have been impressive to watch. I like how the originality of each piece combines both abstract and science elements!

As as an audience member I was made aware that we obviously aren’t performing in the space we will be using in the future but that we can use the confined space we are given to give us a little insight as to how we can think of many different possibilities to how we can integrate the space into our performance.

I have always imagined that performance is a kind of science for actors they use experimental methods to create a piece of art much like scientists use experiments to understand how the world works or how to understand the impossible. The space we are given to perform in is part of our ‘experiment’ and we can use it to our advantage in many different ways.

These performances have inspired me to think more logically about how one determines the link between science and performance. Also I personally think that our imaginations are free to run wild in this subject, in terms of how and why we have to consciously adapt our performances into our space!
