After a Tuning Score proposition
by Lisa Nelson
With recorded musics by Scott Smith

A note about the Tuning Score:

Essentially a communication format, the tools of the tuning score make apparent the ways the players/performers sense and make sense of movement, exposing their opinions and initiating a dialogue about space, time, action, and the desire to compose experience. The movement is unknown to the performers until the moment of action.

"Within an improvisational framework, I've looked for communication systems that could encompass both the choreographic craft and the experience of dancing.
In tuning scores, I discovered a tool to make visible the space between the arbitrary and the inevitable, an improvisational dilemma for both observer and performer. [LN]"

LISA NELSON and SCOTT SMITH have been collaborating since the early '90s, exploring the improvisational territory of Tuning Scores first with the group Image Lab, an ensemble of
choreographer/improvisors which included K.J. Holmes and Karen Nelson. Throughout the '90s, Image Lab brought their work to the public through an "Observatory," a series of site-specific performances which invited the audience to return for multiple viewings. These residencies often included the participation of local artists of many disciplines. Observatories were presented in museums and art centers on both coasts of the U.S. and Canada, in Germany, the U.K. and China.
In 2001, Nelson and Smith created the duet format of GO. They have presented GO in Liverpool, Bratislava (Slovakia), Berlin and France and the US.
