Choreographer Lydia Touliatou and sound designer Timo Tikka explore mnemonic methods of kinesis and sound through technological mediation. The explored material includes personal video archives and real-time recordings. Their experimentation unfolds in a symbiotic dialogue between sound and movement, where both disciplines come to inform “the choreographic“, as defined in the Rose Choreographic School glossary.
