About Me (human):

Seen Performance creates performance collectively, using a process that draws on the experience, skills, and background of everyone involved. Our goal is to make inherently collaborative work through cross-disciplinary methods. The cooperation of ideas and techniques from different art forms results in new and innovative performance. We are made up of performing and non-performing artists currently from music, dance, and design. We take turns initiating projects, through which the disciplinary and stylistic focus of our work varies from piece to piece.

Areas of interest on performance and new media

How do you train yourself or your performers. How do you approach your embodied practices? what kind of technique do you use?

We educate each other from our "home" disciplines and go out to other art forms for new perspectives on these. Embodied practices include exploring the kinetics in slow, still, and simple movement.
