Extensions and Rooms

Extensions and Rooms is a solo score that evolves around my ideas relating to an interest and investigation of "presence". Layered within the qualities of recognizing our continuous part in our creating new environments and "rooms". Spaces for ourselves and for others to meet, act and be present inside.

This project is a freestanding continuation of the piece Intentions and Rooms, first developed in 2006 for the postgraduate company EDge together with the performers Antonio de la Fe Guedes and Noemi Viana.
