DD Dorvillier's No change or ‘freedom is a psycho-kinetic skill’

Working between the discourses of sculpture, sound, and choreography, I address the breaks and collapses of language precipitated by scattered sounds and objects in No Change or freedom is a psycho-kinetic skill (2005) choreographed and performed by DD Dorvillier. Her work proposes an improvisational choreography structured from relationships with objects-speakers, microphone stands, computers, cords-transposing the audial into a visual register. The bodies and objects they encounter act as a latent sound score, signifying trajectories not only of movement but of language, playing with feedback, interpretation, and accidental associations. This constant shifting between sculpture-sound-choreography emerges through an improvisational process, proposing a phenomenological animation attentive to the materiality of the objects as triggers of memory and meaning and as an alternative writing, a language inflected by a capacity to play, to break, to be bored, momentarily extending and scattering perceptional experience.
