Whole body in my ear is a performance in which sound and body emerge as one fluid and dynamic textural form. The work sees performers splice and patch text, movement, and sound scores in creating new languages and porous realities. This endurance-based auditory fantasy pushes toward dissonance, using it as a means to explore and amplify otherness. The scores build, heighten, and erode an ouroboric circuit—with patterns repeating, leaking, and breaking apart throughout a shifting sculptural landscape.

Performers: Jesi Cook, Ayano Elson, Amelia Heintzelman, Mina Nishimura
Live Sound Mixing: Jeff Aaron Bryant
Lighting Design: Daniele Sarti

Jesi Cook is an artist-in-residence with LMCC’s Extended Life Dance Development Program supported, in part, by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
