Katie Ward seeks to activate both the audience’s imagination and her own as a performer. Her movement score uncovers states, identities and forms housed in her own body archive. For their part, the spectators are invited to speak at different moments of the performance, guided by a score: after the performer has revealed a fact about herself to the microphone, the boom operator approaches each spectator with a microphone and invites them to do the same. The scores of movements and the words of the audience evolve in parallel, intertwining, creating a constantly changing composite – a kind of dream bath.
