TUNE IN

Performance, 2012

Moving from side to side from now to now in a forever changing moment allowing consciousness to perform itself in a dance without an ego of a body without a mind which tunes into whatever is with no judgment.

Tune In is a solo performance by Lia Haraki.

In this performance the aim of the artist was to allow movement to be created from being, to silence the thinking mind and tune in to the breath and the beating heart. From a point of silence, the performer tunes in to the movement within and allows it to extend to the outside, embodying the everlasting present with her presence.

The artist was interested in exploring how motion brings emotion and how by witnessing this process one can reach a new state of being.

'I still don't know whether a protagonist of Lia Haraki's practice is herself or energy that makes the self happen. Or an energy that depersonalises us in an intimate act that discards the notion of a protagonist itself. Practicing electro-muscular vibration with her is where I would like to send most anxious visitors (those that fear of missing things out and keep following 'the next thing') of oO to. They could experiment with new states of collective embodied identity at the pace of the pulse.'
