2008 | Under-Score - Armando Menicacci e Christian Delécluse

The Under-Score project was created in 2005 by the researchers Armando Menicacci (Italy) and Christian Delécluse (France), and presented in São Paulo in the context of Mostra Sesc das Artes (SESC Pompéia). Armando and Christian have developed a software for the generation of dance scores. The user inputs parameters including, among others, the number of dancers and the type of space used.

Under-score is grounded in a series of questions revolving around research in the field of dance. One never stages a dance performance from a score – what does it mean to compose from a dance score? How can one use the written score as a point of departure to explore motion? The author of a score is usually the author of the work: what does it mean to create scores while foregoing authorship of the work? A score is conceived as the guarantor of the identity of a work beyond all of its performative variants: what, then, is a score that lends itself to being "betrayed?" To what extent is this even a score at all?

Armando Menicacci is founder and director of Mediadanse - a dance-tech lab in Paris 8 UNiversity Dance Department. With a degree in Musicology and a PhD in Dance and Technology, he is teacher, researcher and artist (with D-FLESH group) actually in residence in the Centre des Arts in Enghien-les-Bains in the Paris outskirts.
Christian Delécluse is architect and engineer, president of the artistic institution Anomos.
