TONAL SHIFTS

Tonal Shifts
Six embodied improvisations on gender fluidity

A physical exploration of gender fluidity through six improvisations that focus on tension, tone, direction, lift, and gravity as embodied tools of self-determination.
Tone and succession function as fundamental bodily patterns in the process of gender transition. They are not approached as abstract concepts, but as active, experiential events: they reveal the dynamic nature of the body and its ability to transform — somatomorphically, biochemically, socially; and also as a vessel of memory, desire, and political presence.

In Tonal Shifts, the body becomes both mirror and conduit. Through bodily tone, sequences are activated that either represent the bodies of the spectators or embody classical figures that have historically constructed gender. The body becomes an open field of discussion.

The performance creates a live soundscape, where body and voice are in constant dialogue. Resonance, accumulation, and vocal expansion act as vocal, organic shifts that reverberate through the body.
The “room of the voice” becomes a space where voice vibrates as a political trace: a presence that positions itself, clashes, and transforms.

Through the body, the voice, and the materiality of sound,
the performance becomes an act of reclamation;
a politics of tone, form, and fluidity.
