‘full stop slightly high’ Performance Goes Online

11 March to 04 May 2020

Nicole Bachmann’s ‘full stop slightly high’ is a new performance featuring two dancers within VITRINE London in Bermondsey Square. As live performances are no longer possible, a recording of the performance is available to watch for free online.

‘full stop slightly high’ Video Documentation

The video is a documentation presentation of Nicole Bachmann’s performance and sound installation ‘full stop slightly high’. It combines the full audio track (duration 13 mins 48secs), currently presented in the gallery space, and a filmed extract from a performance rehearsal. This is an extract. The full performance duration is 60 minutes and involves live vocals via radio mic.

At VITRINE, London, the vocal element can be heard as intended through contact-speakers attached to the glass window panes, alongside the markings and props from the performances, using voice and sound to extend the performance’s corporeality.

Whilst the documentation does not compare to experiencing the live work, we are pleased to offer you the opportunity to view the work online.

A Work Exploring Social Constraints

Bachmann explores VITRINE’s unique space using the confined form as a metaphor for the social constraints we may experience in our lives. These constraints manifest themselves socially, physically and economically in our bodies and our minds, creating multifaceted limitations on our lives. Bachmann is interested in how these constraints become rules and normalities, entering our lives and becoming negative parameters through which we exist.

Performers negotiate structural elements and platforms of varying heights in the space leaving marks on the white walls. When there is no performance, these marks become traces of their bodies’ movements.

When the space is empty, there is an audio work playing quietly through speakers attached to the windows. The work is only heard by those closer to the gallery to implicate the audience through their proximity to the space. The audio piece uses voice and sound to extend the performance’s corporeality, imagining the body through hearing and sharing the same space in its absence.
