Tryst (2009)
'TRYST' incorporates contemporary dance with live video-feed and digital signal processing and sampling. The piece stands as a commentary on the importance of gesture as a choreographic device in the context of western classical piano performance. It seeks to deconstruct the sociological strictures of classical culture while at the same time providing the philosophical stance of performance as a mode of seduction. Within this, the relationships humans form with objects are used as a metaphor for desire in which the inner conflicts of the performer are revealed.
