Endometric is a multimedia performance that focuses on the conscious manifestation of our deep and sometimes unknown inner worlds. We will explore how the practice of externalizing our inner world can be utilized as an imaginative gesture to create and interact with media. Using a multimedia system that includes live sound, image processing, video synthesis, dance, and drawing, a structure is created that allows for spontaneous investigation into how our internal lives are constructed and expressed.
The performance presupposes that our inner worlds are vast and autonomous landscapes, which are just as “real” as the external, material world. These worlds have both always existed and are constantly being constructed. Emerging from movement, sound, and video, we undertake the vulnerable and bittersweet task of passing our inner world experience from the private to the public, thus completing a transfer from thoughts and feelings to external media. Once externalized and witnessed by others, our inner lives fade away, forever changed by the effects of expectation and validation, only to reemerge as artistic media.
