LGP Performative Method Embodying Creative Transitions Through Project-Based Immersion The LGP Performative Method is a transdisciplinary support system designed for artists, entrepreneurs, and hybrid professionals navigating complex creative transitions. Rooted in performance, psychoanalytic insight, and ritualized thinking, the method invites participants to engage deeply with their emotional landscape and personal image as they develop projects that are both intimate and public. This article presents the conceptual pillars and the evolution of the method through performative installations, site-specific experiments, and testimonial archives. Unlike coaching or therapy, LGP works by immersive presence and symbolic acts that reorient the practitioner in relation to their project, their desire, and their audience. With a focus on Erotic Leadership, Liminal Psychoanalytic Fashion, and Project Reconfiguration, the method offers a dynamic toolkit to support non-linear processes and facilitate creative emergence. The piece includes visual documents, field notes, and reflections on what it means to be a body-in-process building something real.

Performative Paradigm for Businesses Reconfiguring Strategy, Presence and Creative Leadership This article introduces the Performative Paradigm as an innovative framework for business development, leadership and strategic positioning. Moving beyond traditional rational models, the performative approach integrates embodiment, narrative, and emotional architecture into the very core of professional structures. Rather than separating personal presence from strategic decision-making, this paradigm understands the body, desire, and symbolic expression as essential tools for navigating uncertainty and generating sustainable innovation. Drawing from performance studies, psychoanalytic thinking, and affect theory, the article explores how performative logic can be applied to projects, teams, and leadership styles—especially within multidisciplinary or creative industries. Far from being abstract, the paradigm proposes concrete methodologies and real cases where performative alignment has shifted business dynamics: from burnout to embodied clarity, from fragmentation to integrated vision. Aimed at entrepreneurs, consultants, and visionary leaders, this article opens a liminal path where doing and being converge.

How can dance and music, an art rich of history and a recent practice, the living body and digital immateriality communicate with each other? This project explores these questions through a live electronics performance in interaction with Odissi dance, one of the eight classical Indian dance forms. The performance combines fixed and improvised elements, fostering a dynamic interplay where music sometimes leads the dance and at other times responds to it. The work mirrors the traditional Odissi performance arc while reinterpreting it through a contemporary Western compositional lens. The sound material is created using SuperCollider, a code-based music synthesis platform. Algorithmic processes govern parameters such as duration, pitch, and amplitude, while real-time interventions are performed via a MIDI controller, enabling a fluid and reactive sonic environment. Several collaborative experiments inform the project’s development. Conducted both remotely and in-person, they involved exchanging musical sketches and choreographic responses, fostering a conceptual understanding of each other's creative processes, and enabled immediate feedback and improvisatory interaction, revealing how abstract sound gestures are interpreted by the dancer as vivid metaphors of natural phenomena through the expressive language of mudra. This project embraces the idea that meaning in performance does not pre-exist but rather emerges through the interweaving of gesture, sound, attention, and relational space. Rather than seeking fixed correspondences between music and dance, the collaboration foregrounds the instability and fluidity of sense-making as a shared experiential process. Movement and sound co-construct each other in the moment, guided by intuition, somatic listening, and a continuous negotiation of presence. In this light, the work becomes less about illustrating pre-defined narratives and more about cultivating a living texture of interaction—an evolving field where different temporalities, traditions, and sensitivities resonate and transform one another. Informed by Andrée Grau’s insights in Intercultural Research in the Performing Arts (1992), this project also approaches collaboration not as a neutral meeting ground but as a space charged with cultural histories and asymmetries of knowledge. Grau urges us to move beyond celebratory notions of “fusion” and to critically examine how traditions are represented, adapted, and negotiated in performance. In this light, the work does not seek to erase difference but to hold it in tension, encouraging a space where both artists remain grounded in their respective practices while allowing mutual transformation to occur. Rather than simplifying or assimilating Odissi into a Western framework, the collaboration is framed as an encounter—sometimes smooth, sometimes resistant—that reflects the complex, evolving nature of intercultural exchange. Here, meaning is not given but co-constructed through attention, respect, and a willingness to remain in the discomfort of not fully understanding. Bibliography Grau, A. (1992).

Throughout our musical history, many female composers’ figures and legacies have always remained overshadowed in the male-dominated realm of 19th- and 20th-century music. Eugenia S. Osterberger (1852–1932) is one of them: a remarkable and overlooked Galician composer who blended Galician and Spanish traditional music with European academic styles. This research aims to shed light on Osterberger's life and work by performing her compositions with my instrument addressing the central question: “How can I share it engagingly with the audience?”. To carry out this project, the methodology involves a literature review of Eugenia’s context, story, and compositions; archive fieldwork to find the scores; the process of arranging and adapting her music for oboe or English horn; identification of Galician and Spanish folklore footprints and other styles in her pieces; and revision of tools for engaging audience. The culmination of this research will be to have all the essential tools to be able to create a performance that combines narration and music to bring Osterberger's legacy to life, making the audience enjoy and connect with my emotional engagement and with the composer. In addition, it is intended to make a new contribution to the repertoire for oboe and English horn and raise awareness of under-represented voices in music history, which may inspire others to rediscover forgotten composers.

Editorial of the inaugural edition of ARJAZZ Journal for Artistic Research in Jazz (May, 2025)

This exposition contains the complete artistic output and accompanying reflective documentation of the artistic research doctoral project I conducted at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna between 2021 and 2024. Free improvisation in music offers a unique field for exploring how artistic practices develop through embodied engagement, critical reflection, and collaborative experimentation. This research focuses particularly on the process of practicing within this context, tracing the evolution of specific exercises and preparatory methods. These were initially tested in collaborative projects with other musicians and later refined through a series of workshops. A central theme that emerged throughout this process is the role of reflection—both musical and verbal—as a vital component of artistic development. This realization culminated in the project Performing Reflection, which established a dialogical relationship between musical improvisation and reflective discourse. The work contributes to a deeper understanding of how structured exercises and reflective practices can support and expand the art of free improvisation, offering new perspectives on its preparation, pedagogy, and performance.
