ARTI ULATE (2012)
ARTI ULATE approaches sound and movement as communication – its deconstruction and (re)formation. Interwoven through the piece is Kaufman's true account of trying to explain to a recorder the experience of having a seizure. Taking sound and movement cues from the audience, each other, and a pre-recorded score, the three artists perform a dialogue wrought with misinterpretation, interruption, and occasionally, understanding.
Created and performed by Bianca Brzezinski and Daria Kaufman, in collaboration with musician Richard Warp
