33rd Annual Conference:
Times of Transition: Shifting Individual and Collective Consciousness
Dates: April 4 – 6, 2013, New Orleans, LA
Choreography of objects expresses cross-sensorial experiences as a normative part of everyday life. The sequential performances allow for objects and bodies to conjoin in a celebration of layered abstractions that the synaesthete negotiates daily. The somewhat rare colored grapheme condition represents a ‘perceived oddity’ in the project and becomes the nexus for collective enrichment. Here we may enjoy and value meaningful actions outside our own fluency, sharing in translational acts with another’s language, ritual and perception.
This project addresses several tenants of social justice through facilitating a shifting from internal individual to group experience while also celebrating openness to different interpretations of the same data. Our project also promotes participation and cooperation within a multi-lingual community and a democratization of language. By transcending perceptual boundaries, we model the transcendence of social boundaries.
