Scoring and Performing

© Rasmus Olme

Through writing, exchanging, interpreting and performing scores for each other, the workshop is situated within the intersection of choreography, dance, performance, and writing. Conceptually, the ‘graph’ in choreography is interpreted here as a means of communication of dancing that detaches the author from the work, since the author of the score is not present – as the performer elaborates their interpretation, making the performer co-author by their interpretation. The scoring process reveals the margins and grey zones of authorship and also the creative potentials of writing movement that is not a form of notation to conserve an original but a re-iterative process, open to difference.

Scoring and Performing explores different points of departure for choreographic writing to explore the choreographic perspective on various objects, pop songs, architecture and more. Performing the scores for each other in the studio we playfully join the joy of dancing and the energy that comes from giving and receiving attention to each other's performing.
