Theorem Trans Radix

Theorem Trans Radix was laying bare now moments of the creative process. I collaborated with Werner Moebius on an outdoor partita tracing each and every idea that comes to mind. In a three-month residency at the Center for Choreography in Hebron, New York, we obligated ourselves to unquestioning and unjudged articulation and collection of all ideas. We recorded every seed of an idea and the following developments, the lives of ideas, so to speak. Ideas popped up under the shower, in the middle of the night, or during working hours in the studio. In the partita, we meticulously tracked the shiftings, reworkings, developments, and editing that happen to ideas in artistic creation alongside the emergence of ‘now moments’ (see Stern, 2004, 2010).
