- Abstract
- Performance by Tom Hodgson in 'Tenebrae Trilogy Parts I and II', Sydney Town Hall, Sydney, Australia. March 2005 and April 2006. A collaboration between physical theatre company Force Majeure and The Song Company. Both internationally recognized for their excellence and fearless approach to performance. Research Contribution: Intensive workshop and improvisation period investigating all possibilities and limits of movement when performed simultaneously with Carlo Gesualdo's intricate score. Research into singing techniques and limits of body position whilst moving. Development of choreographic material morphing singers and dancers into a collective movement experience. The research has led to further collaborations between the two companies and also a new approach in their individual work. The significance of this research is that it overcomes traditional physical and staging barriers relating to performance of complex, historical compositions. Its value can be attested by the following indicators: its success both artistically and in ticket sales, the creation and completion of the third and final part of the Trilogy, its attendance by an extremely broad audience demographic and greater understanding of how singing technique can be adjusted to facilitate greater movement during performance.
