SODA WORKS 2018
The SODA (Solo/Dance/Authorship) class of 2018 have compiled this publication to contain selected content from their individual thesis projects. These projects each consisted of a live performance - presented in December 2017, at the Uferstudios in Berlin - an artist work book, as a document of the creative process and a written essay, each explicating areas of independent research. It is the aim of this publication to present a selection of this material for public dissemination. The publication can be read in two directions: vertically as well as horizontally. You can choose from which perspective you would like to start. You can read the book from the beginning till the end and after that start again, this time reading from a different angle, or you can simply make fast changes, jumping from horizontal to vertical, from vertical to horizontal. It is just a matter of adjusting the object to your choices. The amount of changes is limitless.

Nothing, nothing, nothing,<br />
bare nothingness.<br />
G a p s are places of not knowing. The process of studying at MA <strong>SODA</strong> was the process of exploring these spaces<br />
in-between and finding ways to activate them; at first accidentally and later intentionally. ON SPIRIT was an investigation of<br />
the body of voice, and places between words and sounds. ON MATTER was exploring things and ways of activating them<br />
performativly and relating to them (sometimes indulging in anthropomorphism), working with an extended body. The sketch<br />
for solo No. Matter! What? was the result of this process. In ON LANGUAGE the “difference” of word and action was in the<br />
forefront. It was a short and intense process; an attempt to locate the meaning formed in the relations between words and<br />
actions. The research was presented in a lecture performance Mean Meanings. ON STAGE brought all the previous projects<br />
together and connected them in a hybrid work ƒ(being), staging and reimagining R.U.R. (an early sci-fi theatre play). The<br />
project was using human performers as “recombinant performative objects” together with video, light, music and fog. It was<br />
using gaps as disruptions, changes in the performative mode, to introduce confusion and prevent the audience to get too<br />
settled.
