An (auto)reflexive re-evaluation of the unquestionable hierarchy of values imposed unto \u200bUs\u200b, a living work which attempts to embody extantation \u2013 to persist on existing despite conditions that favour its imminent extinction. In this work, the performers attempt to create another reality \u2013 through touching, proximity, and movements, that is not pre-choreographed but created in the moment by the circumstances within the process of creating the sound and by the movements of the performers+audience becoming a collective body \u2013 a space of disassociation unloaded with the social constructs associated with the politics of touch found in the modern world and the geography associated with it. Where to choreograph, compose and perform in this case, goes beyond the narrow confines of artistic concepts and aesthetics, existing in both the space of the ethereal and the space of an immersive installative performance. To process feelings, thoughts and intentions on the peripheral spectrum between the knowing and the unknowing, Nguy\u1ec5n + Transitory hope to be one of the few ways left to reconnect with lost magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nguy\u1ec5n + Transitory - Bird Bird, Touch Touch, Sing Sing (work-in-progress \/ CTM 2019) (COMPLETE)\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fg9oL8vU3H0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Bird Bird, Touch Touch, Sing Sing<\/em> \u2013 Documentation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The work Bird Bird, Touch Touch, Sing Sing celebrates inter-dependency, vulnerability, closeness, disorientation, and trust, as forms of collective decolonial resistance.
