Evolver is an open-source performance platform, researching awareness of the self through conscious movement of the body. In the work the audience member is invited to participate actively, executing actions written on provided instruction cards.
Through repetition of movements and an emphasis on concentration, focus, determination, strength and mindfulness, the actions motivate the participant to find a center within. The scores for the operations a come are made during long hikes in various landscapes across the world. I ground myself by executing mindful movements on the spot. Most of the time this involves finding spontaneous forms in which I find peace by a repetition of movement which I translate into executable actions for other performers and the audience.
