THE MOUTH SPEAKS: DENIS BEAUBOIS in response to BRANCH NEBULA’s STOP-GO
STOP-GO
Stop-Go opens Branch Nebula’s choreographic toolkit for public inspection and use. Any performance is, in essence, just one thing after another and the order in which these things happen is infinitely malleable. Artists have some expertise in choosing the things and assembling the sequence, and audiences have a right to expect this expertise to be on display when attending the theatre. Stop-Go respects this implicit contract and provides the audience with everything they need to create a satisfying night, including: tension and resolution; high stakes; complex movement, and engaging personas. And while the human will be foregrounded throughout the performance, there will also be technologies never before seen on stage.
Denis Beaubois was born in Mauritius and lives in Sydney. His works have been exhibited internationally including the TATE Modern, San Francisco MOMA and the Australian Museum of Contemporary Art. He has received numerous awards for his works most notably winning the 1998 Bonn Videonale, and receiving the Judges special prize for the Internationaler Medien kunst preis 2001, ZKM.
