Perpetual Movement Sound inhabited the Werkstadt space for 3 hours each day for 5 days.

During these sessions, we explored expansions and contractions of energy and sound in our bodies and in the space. We drew from our memories of the space as we experienced it day-to-day, as well as our memories of distant bodies and buildings we have visited. Sourcing this process, in which we experimented with overlapping spaces, bodies, and times, we generated relics, movement meditations, and sounds that were prompted by our interaction.

We designed an improvised score in response to our 5 days in the space and performed it on the evening of Friday, March 16.
