Your Coat, Turning

About

Your Coat, Turning is a video score, with sound, text and images, that guides participants to imagine, play and transmit sounds. The piece draws from electronic music, sound art, and contemplative practices. Text and video prompt the audience to explore sound and interact with (provided) mystery objects that create a communal music experience. It’s a musical experience that invites participants to create multiple futures through sound, video, text and play – a game of recreations of self and community. Our climate crisis means that the coat of the earth is changing — and we must be able to deal with injury through creativity, beyond survival to renewal. Joy and imagination are necessary birthrights, and communal, political acts. Our concept of communing offers something that in the moment people can belong to, contemplate their ancestral gifts, and build their own future. We are interested in how to transform our individual and collective metaphorical coats (i.e. identities) through the experience of sounding and imagining together.
