Performance

Slide 1 – 5-choose-1+2+2-animation-v2

Mathematician Verhoeff and choreographer Van Berkel present a lecture performance on the ‘spurs’ of Lehmer. In mathematic visualisations these ‘spurs’ appear on paths in permutation graphs. For this lecture performance the permutation graphs and the spurs are translated into movement, image and sound. The characteristics ‘proximity’ and ‘minimal change’ form the basic ingredients for an exact and playful combination of science and art.

By Tom Verhoeff (mathematician) and Roos van Berkel (choreographer) in collaboration with Marion Tränkle (scenographer), Ivo Bol (composer) and dancers of the department Modern Theatre Dance

NOW presents a new work: “BLINK …and sync” at Come Together # 4 2019 .

BLINK is a performance using eye blinking as a performative tool. It is a part of our research into rhythms and patterns of our body and brain, and conscious and unconscious blinking as indicators of states of mind and different moods. We will perform an experimental score for three people that generates blink instructions with different rhythms and chance variations. The blinks are captured with EEG and translated into a musical piece for light and sound, using the body as the intermediate between two different systems: the score and the performance environment.
