Tuning Scores

Tuning Scores are the life’s work of the artist Lisa Nelson, and as such cannot be put down in just a few paragraphs. They are a tool that Lisa Nelson with colleagues have been developing since many decades.

For starters though, one can say that through practicing Tuning Scores together, participants can show each other how they see dance. The unity of the doer and the watcher, of the “inside” and the “outside” perspective, is felt and practiced.

Participants notice how they themselves edit dance in real time, through internal “calls”. Some of these “calls” can then also become audible, as they are made by any individual, to the whole space. Some examples of “calls” are: pause, begin, end, repeat, reverse, re-situate, report, etc. The ”calls” are often surprising and by applying them participants practice detachment to the material.

The final destination of Tuning Scores Practice is the so-named state of “Go”, where the “calls” are no longer necessary, because the group has tuned-in.

For the rest, it best be experienced. We will explore it together.
