Stridulate : Hybrid Forms In Voice And Movement
June 12-13, 19-20, 2009

stridulate: v. (intrans.) to make a sound by rubbing parts of the body together (as crickets do).

Beginning by regarding the friction of the vocal folds as the primary mode of human stridulation, Stridulate aims to highlight points at which vocalization becomes movement and speech begets gesture, and amplify them to a point where they articulate an entirely new performance vocabulary.

Erica Mott is a performer, director, and deviser whose work is particularly inspired by observation of her immediate environment. Through mask, clown, butoh-inspired movement and site-specific performance, she attempts to capture and heighten the magic, mystery and tragedy in everyday activities and interactions. She endeavors to find universality in these actions and her performance that may be communicated across social, economic, and cultural boundaries.
