Memory
In 2002, choreographer and director Frauke Havemann joined forces with video artist Eric Schefter and performer Neal Wach to examine the possibilities of combining live performance with pre-recorded video material. Starting from a collection of “found” texts, they began to shoot and rehearse. As in a game, rules and tasks were developed which could be followed or ignored. The cinematic principle of ‘the cut’ could be used for interruption or irritation - as a possibility for direct collision and/or an (expandable) interval. The goal was to be precise in timing and reaction, while allowing decision-making and flexibility within the performance situation. Mistakes and unforeseen events (both technical and human) where integrated into the game.
Since then, ON AIR has developed a series of works which investigate the flux and friction between live performance (human time, transformation/change) and pre-recorded material (mechanical/digital time, the option for endless repetition). Within these parameters of narrative and multi-layered montage the audience becomes co-producer, co-writer, co-storyteller and so on.
To expand their "group", the three developed a technique that allowed Neal Wach to play live against his pre-recorded self.
