RESEARCH FOR EXTENDING RECIPROCITY

Shannon Cooney

Extending Reciprocity, a new production by Shannon Cooney, will examine empathetic responses when one spectator witnesses another, in close contact with the performer, who will rock, embrace or sway them in the rhythm of the craniosacral system (a vital system in the body with a slow rhythmical impulse and low resonance).

For Neukölln’s window, this will be documented both by video and in hand-out surveys given to the passer-by public to fill out and leave for the installation.

 

This is an early stage of the work, and will serve both as an interesting interactive performance as well as gathering material and documentation for the future production in November 2013. In line with Shannon Cooney’s teaching and dance making practices where she weaves somatic work with performance. One can read more on her website at www.shannoncooney.org to follow the creation details.
