Choreosonographies

Choreosonographies (choreosonography) is a term developed by Óscar Mascareñas from the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, in the University of Limerick, to describe the investigation of the multiple possibilities of expression that dwell within the human body, including the exploration of musical 'sensuousness' and its relationship with the voice. From a sonic perspective, the choreosonographies may develop from playing within - and beyond - a frame posed by the structures of existing music, which is seen as an open system that permits the re-interpretation of seemingly fixed scores using alternative techniques of voice production and composition. Moreover, from both sonic and movement viewpoints, a choreosonography entails the making of collective compositions, in which the performers work on a continuous and never-ending exploration of sound, movement, force and emotion to create a choreosonographic score that is always re-worked/re-written in every performance, and thus never final or closed. In this regard, a choreosonography develops its own frame, where the creative impulse is a force that always already resists becoming form, becoming represented, even though - as Jacques Derrida suggests elsewhere - the representation of that force can only be done by re-presenting it, i.e., by presenting it again - as if for the first time.
