​

'FLAPPING' IS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY WORK THAT INCORPORATES MUSIC, DANCE, PERFORMANCE, IMMERSIVE SOUND DESIGN, AND VIDEO. IT IS THE RESULT OF A COLLECTIVE CREATIVE PROCESS INVOLVING A DANCER-PERFORMER AND THREE MUSICAL COMPOSERS FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS.

​

THE PIECE IS AN AUDIOVISUAL REPRESENTATION OF 'THE LAST FLIGHT OF A BIRD': ITS PREPARATION, STAGE, ATTEMPTS AT TAKE-OFF, PROGRESSIVE ASCENT, THE ECSTASY OF FLIGHT, DESCENT, AND ITS AGONIZING DESCENT AND DEATH.

 

THE PIECE IS BASED ON THE RECORDED SOUND OF THE DANCER'S TAPPING (THE FLAPPING). FROM THIS MINIMAL RHYTHMIC UNIT, THE COMPOSERS CREATED AN IMMERSIVE SOUND NARRATIVE THAT SERVES AS BOTH A SOUND ENVIRONMENT FOR THE 'BIRD' AND AN ATTEMPT TO CONVEY ITS EMOTIONS.
