Punktum

Punktum is a choreographic research project in which sound, movement and material presence co-emerge through mutual influence, rather than human control.

Punktum functions as an ongoing research trajectory rather than a closed production. The project investigates choreography as a relational practice in which agency is distributed across human and non-human actors.

 

Music and sound are not treated as elements initiated or controlled by the performer, but as equal participants within the choreographic system. Through hanging objects equipped with contact microphones, vibrations, movements and acoustic responses continuously affect one another. These interactions not only generate sound but also influence the performers’ movement choices, timing and spatial awareness.

 

 

Rather than foregrounding expressivity or narrative, the work focuses on conditions: how sound activates space, how material presence shapes movement, and how attention shifts when control is decentered. Punktum thus articulates a posthuman approach to choreography, in which listening becomes a primary mode of action and composition emerges through mutual influence.

Punktum can take the form of a performance, installation or shared research situation, depending on the context and invitation.

 

The work relies on acoustic feedback, contact microphones and spatial resonance, requiring attentive tuning rather than amplification-driven volume.

 

The presence of an audience influences the acoustic and spatial dynamics of the work, making each presentation context-specific.
