Pain Creature
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Pain Creature is an interactive wearable instrument for improvisational movement and sound-making. The instrument materializes the distinct qualities of the performer's chronic pain through visual-tactile-auditory aspects. In this semi-improvised dance performance, Pain Creature embodies the dancer's pain as an unwanted presence, a parasite living on her skin that responds to touch with abstract sonic utterances. The piece unfolds as the dancer explores her relationship with the creature, accompanied by a texture of evolving electronic sounds generated by a live electronic musician. As the piece progresses, the performer explores the choreographic and sonic possibilities of the instrument in a dialogue with the electronic sonic background.
