TENSION IN THE TENSES

Is a sensorial installation, a choreography, and an ego time trap. 

Here the verb To Be is meditating on the existence of existential pursuits found in the English grammar. Inspired by the promises inherent in the names of the twelve grammatical tenses. e.g.; Perfect Past, Simple Present, Continuous Perfect Future.

Conjugations about Beingness here translate into memes, into dance moves, into objects and objectives. Asking bodies to experience every tense, to move with it, to let it time move within it.

In the performance for 24H Oost  ‘Intentions And Attentions of Tension In The Tenses’  the tenses come alive into moves and loud voices while I teach an omnivocal-dance class, promising to heal all time-based constraints. 

Materials :  Twelve grammatical tenses of the verb To Be - Twelve pairs of modified sandals (various nails, foam, metal)

Twelve stones from Ikaria island engraved with Letraset letters - Twelve dance poses in a text manual

These twelve pairs of sandals conduct an open circuit specifically designed to synchronise your Prana with precious pressure points in your ego.

When used in unison with the movements featured in the text guides one is able to enter INTO introspective time-traveling and attain alignment with perfect-timing .
