SHARING A SOUL 2022 //
Electronics, Voice, Clarinet, Electric Guitar and a Dancer in an embroidered dress score.
‘Sharing a Soul’ is the first piece to emerge from The Grounded Creation Project. Drawing from the neuroscience of safety (The Polyvagal Theory, Stephen Porges) Geoffa (composer, visual artist) and her collaborator Marcelo Lazcano (composer, guitarist) have been researching how social connection, play and meditation - techniques that have the capacity to calm the nervous system - can be diversified and explored as modes of making so that neurodiverse creativity such as theirs can be cultivated in a better way. In short, what happens if neurodiverse artists are enabled in making what they need to make instead of what they should?
In this piece, Geoffa artistically communicates snapshots of their experience of dissosciation.
