about the experiments:
In the assumption that a spectator of a performance experiences as well as witnessing, the experiments in this research consider observing and taking part hand in hand.
I asked spectators to consent to become objects of study. This revealed details about their experiences and feelings and if there are any correspondences between their emotional and physiological responses.
Similarities or differences tell if there is closeness, in which case there would be ground for a social bond through subjective feelings coming together and connecting audience members and dancers in a performance setting.

The project is concerned with both liveness and documentation.
1. emotional and rational feedback (questionnaire) of performers and audience after a performance.
2. AV footage, notes, text, to help me find which, or which combinations, may be most effective/comprehensive means of documenting the practice.
2. DATA COLLECTION OF PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES (GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSE) DURING STUDIO PRACTICE
