During the first act you transform into a temporary sculpture. During the second act you perform a ritual in front of each sculpture on the trail. For each of the acts, read through instructions prior to doing the movements.
Jorge Alvaro's academic and research space
(2024)
Jorge Alvaro Manzano
The essence of the video essay is to transfer the energy of the chosen audiovisual pieces to a new language. It aims to focus the viewer on a detail, a concept that articulates part of the narrative. In this series, different proposals converge to emphasize some relevant aspects of each selection.
The articles allow me to investigate and reflect on the topics I photograph or film, deepening and discussing my research with other authors

Radical Interpretations of Iconic works for Percussion
(2024)
Kjell Tore Innervik
The artistic development project Radical Interpretations investigates two iconic works for solo percussion and re-composes these. The goal of the project was to develop new creative and transdisciplinary research in interpretation of musical works.
Participants: percussionist Kjell Tore Innervik, Norwegian Academy of Music (NMH), composer Ivar Frounberg, NMH, designer Maziar Raein, Oslo National Academy of the Arts, experience designer Ståle Stenslie, The Oslo School of Architecture and Design, and music recording producer Morten Lindberg.
During the 3 years project, the team engaged with the music of Morton Feldman and Iannis Xenakis. The solo percussion pieces The King of Denmark and Psappha were the point of departure.
The cd [UTOPIAS ](http://www.2l.no/pages/album/141.html)(2L) contains the pure audio version of the pieces in high definition and immersive sound.-><-
On this site you will find other interpretations and iterations of the music made by the team.
"Accademia di Dame, Vienna 1697" by Susanne Abed-Navandi and Margit Legler
(2024)
Susanne Abed-Navandi
The work presents selected parts of a women's academy in the form of a short film, which was originally performed once at the Viennese court in 1697. The video is the result of an interpretative approach based on the acting techniques of the period when this academy was created. The music harmonises with the movement, which, in turn, follows the affect of the text. The filmed scene was rehearsed by students, graduates and teachers of the Department of Early Music at the University of Music and Arts of the City of Vienna (MUK) as part of the course “Period Acting Techniques“ under the direction of Margit Legler. This work contributes to the visualisation and imaginability of this historical event, where five authors and singers presented speeches, poems and music they had composed themselves on a specific research question. In addition to the score of the selected parts, this publication includes a historical report on the creation of the academy, summarising the findings of a dissertation on music history dedicated to this event (Pumhösl 2014). It concludes with a personal reflection on how the performance of today's interpreters changes when they employ period acting techniques in speeches, recitatives and arias.
