Gaugemancy is an investigation into the physicality of the everyday asking: How
can non-choreographic movements be presented in a choreographic context and
further, how can this non-choreography be sublimated and sonified to highlight these kinds
of bodily subjugation, in a performance?

The development of Gaugemancy required significant research involving the capture and
subsequent analysis and visualisation of non-choreographic movement in situ. Followed by
real time movement analysis and quantitative visualisation for performers in training. The
research for the performance resulted in the development of a set of electro-acoustic
instruments that required a significant amount of software and hardware engineering. These
instruments were then used to create a composition that was embedded in a choreography
that sonified the actions of the performers, without limiting their movement vocabulary. The
choreography/composition was developed in a collaborative context and used to answer the
above question.

Gaugemancy was presented at a number of venues including La Passerelle Saint Brieuc, Le
Manège Reims, Charleroi danse Brussels and the Pompidou Centre Paris. More information can be found here: https://latitudescontemporaines.com/en/latitudes-prod/gaugemancy/
