An Accountable Temporary Expedient (ATE) is what I call a task that is designed to respond to a choreographic situation, but is only temporarily valid and is does not apply to all circumstances—Accountable means considerate of the consequences it will have on the current circumstance (in a performance setting); Temporary stands for not applicable in all circumstances at all times (disposable or case sensitive); Expedient implies that it is practically useful in a situation of action.
DRAMATURGIES OF AN ACCOUNTABLE TEMPORARY EXPEDIENT approaches performance as way of producing different versions of itself through transformation. It explores technologies and processes that generate such versions, and asks the question of how to navigate the different selves of performance.
It is proposed as a means of connecting movement, word, image and experience to one of the current questions in my research: how does a dialogue between movement and thought manifest itself through different mediums, in relation to the idea of feedback-loop in performance?
I focused this exploration on the translation from a medium to another of elements that are generated by performing and are fed back into the performance.

The project originated in my interest in the idea of a loop consisting of elements of movement, word, image, and experience. This blog is comprised of ten sections containing scores, narratives, images, quotes and reflections that are often products of collaborative practices.
