Des Gestes Touchants
Alexis Crawshaw, vibrotactile music. Guest artist Maud Watel-Kazak, mime and dance. Featuring the CREATE ensemble, directed by Matt Wright
« Touching gestures » is an interdisciplinary, collaborative improvisational performance with the computer music of the CREATE Ensemble led by Matthew Wright, comic mime and dance performance by guest artist/actress Maud Watel-Kazak, and a vibrotactile music component by Alexis Story Crawshaw. This work will explore different rapports of « mapping » and « feedback » between the domains of theater and electroacoustic music. It will also investigate the musicality of touch using vibrotactile actuators, thereby inviting synaesthestic associations through gesture across three modalities: sonic, visual, and tactile.
