Online live performance in duet – “Soon #2,” on Sunday, November 29th, 2020, at 2:00 pm EST, in the FEM_20 Festival: Performance Duets, presented by Gresol, in Madremanya, Spain

November 24, 2020

Two days of five-minute duet performances, on Saturday, November 28th, 2020 (beginning at 18:00 CET) & Sunday, November 29th, 2020 (Beginning at 19:00 CET).   These duets formed part of Gresolart’s ongoing group research into inter-connectedness and group experiments on synchronicity.

This year FEM_20 was a tribute to artists Lesley Yendell, who died on October 5th 2020.  She was a founding member of the performance group Ocells al Cap.  Also honored in this year’s program was Sally Madge, an artist from Newcastle, UK who died from COVID in November 2020.

FORMAT
1. Each participant prepared a performance of max 5 minutes with no contact between the artists – each in her own country
2. We met on Zoom
3. We randomly chose pairs of artists.
4. They performed their actions simultaneously.
5. On the screen we only saw the two artists.
6. We looked for synchronicities
7. Repeated until finishing all the participants
Unfortunately on the first evening of performance the videos were not recorded and so we only have some screen shots. On the second evening there are videos of the duets.
