This workshop will be an introduction to Kaleidography
Kaleidography
Since our inception, Artistic Fraud of Newfoundland has been developing a mathematically based choreography and directing system in order to produce very specific movement and sound instances on stage, like symphonic music but created with an actor’s speaking voice, natural movement, technical elements and blocking. We call this device Kaleidography, if for no other reason than to avoid continuously repeating the preceding long-winded sentence.
Kaleidography involves the pre-rehearsal charting of instances of stage. This charting, depending upon the show in question, and the nature of the instances being charted (i.e. text, blocking, or gesture), can be accomplished in many forms including, but not limited to, music notation, flow charts, grid diagrams, and music bar and beat breakdowns.
Each show presents unique opportunities and challenges for Kaleidography, and as a result the charting has to be as flexible in its written form as it is inflexible in its stage appearance.
