A Song for Eurydice
Through an interface designed by Leafcutter John, Steventon's elevated heartbeat is transmitted in real time to Singh's live music sequencer. Through a skillful treadmill running performance, the tempo is set by the alternating heart rate. Singh's live vocal response in turn directly affects the heart rate, setting up a circular, symbiotic relationship where Steventon's heart becomes both instrument and perceiving organ, as Singh composes the running journey.
The Heart As APerceptual Organ
Arts Council England are supporting James Steventon to realise The Heart As A Perceptual Organ - a period of research and development, resulting in a new collaborative performance, using running to generate and respond to a live vocal score; and a participatory running experience, using biofeedback devices to create a shared experiential encounter through radio transmission of heart-rate data.
A Place in Time?
An embryonic research group made up of artists involved in research into several different areas of fine art practice, including traditional and non-traditional media and also interdisciplinary practice.
Power & Grace
In November 2012 James Steventon will be participating in a MovNat Power and Grace Workshop, training in natural human movement skills for physical competence, practical performance and efficiency.
