Performance Games for Everyday Life
In collaboration w/Radio Relativa
The real games (los juegos de verdad/i giochi veri) is a radio-dance/drama and a podcast that instead of being listened to is designed to be done. The podcast contains 21 real games, 21 audio-based dance scores and theatre games each to be performed in connection to a different everyday task. You can do the real games’ performances at home by following the step-by-step audio-instructions in real time while doing a daily activity. Like meditations in movement, you can enjoy the real games only by listening, also imagining or actively dancing. You can do the performances alone or accompanied. Here, now, or later. This 21-games challenge is created to add a spark of imagination to your daily routine, and it can lead to unexpected results…
