Audience Talk following 'CENTER[O]POSITIVE'

A live sound and post-butoh feedback performance exploring unstable memory, shared reality, and possession at the edge of breakage and renewal. Afterwards there will be an Audience Talk.

The duo’s work is informed by an improvisational, experimental, research-driven practice — in the context of an audio-visual installation/performance shaped by feedback, trails, and counterpoint. By embodying each audio source (resonant object) with ontologically related, but independently playing sonic and embodied material, the result is a constantly developing combination of sounds that interact and fold into each other. The audience talk has plenty of time for questions and topics like: How did the concept of feedback develop throughout the creation process, across sound, bodies, and projections? When you say, "Feedback—sonic, physical, visual—becomes an unstable archive, shifting perception live in real-time.” Can you say more about creating an unstable archive? What is “post/butoh” dance and how is it playing out in this performance?

About the piece

CENTER[O]POSITIVE

CENTER[O]POSITIVE is a performance-installation by POLLUX, a collaboration bringing together Nick Dunston, the "indispensable" New York avant-garde multi-instrumentalist (NY Times), and Min Yoon, a post-Butoh dancer and artist whose psychophysical rituals have been funded by major institutions like NPN and Musikfonds. CENTER[O]POSITIVE, integrates banjo-feedback and live electronics with surreal movement and visuals to transform the stage into an unstable archive of real-time variation.

About the artist

Min Yoon & Nick Dunston

“Not for the attention-seeking economy”, Min Yoon is a post/butoh dancer and vocalist creating intimate, surreal, and psychophysical performances and moments of heightened emotions. Min’s dance collages intense imagery, physicality, stillness, and ritual. Min researches unintentional / subconscious movements with impulsive improvisation - to explore difficult truths beyond language and inherited social knowledge. Min dances with the question of whether butoh dance is mimicking patterns of oppression, and… what is the dance needed today.

Named an indispensable player on the New York Avant-Garde‘ (New York Times), Nick Dunston is a multi-instrumentalist and composer working in sonic and interdisciplinary spaces. Utilizing his background in Black American improvisational and experimental music, his work treats sound in a multitude of ways, whether it be as an abstract object, or whether it be an experiential narrative. The collective experience of multi-generational community-based music is of central importance to his work, as is the visceral, first-person experience of physically producing and embodying sound.
