C.V.

C.V. explores the emotional and psychological relationship between a being and their psyche at the end stage of their life through navigating the themes of the Id, Ego, and Superego. Each performer represents a different character that explores this relationship through their improvisations and interactions with one another. Over the course of the piece, each character packs away their found objects into a black box, much like one would pack away the contents of a person's life after they pass. These objects represent a summary of this person's life; the stages and milestones they went through, and the experiences that left a great impact on their life and others.

As a performer of a new music ensemble that focuses on improvisation, I sought to create landmarks for the performers to exist within as they explore the sonic possibilities of their objects, and their interactions with one another, the pre-recorded tape, and projected media that ultimately guides their progression through the piece.
