Detective Work is both a live performance event and a neuroscience study. A new commission by interdisciplinary research project NEUROLIVE, audiences of Detective Work will participate in research on the experience of liveness.
About
Detective Work is a new duet, choreographed by Seke Chimutengwende in collaboration with Steph McMann, which explores choreography as a process of creating and solving mysteries.
The performance is a web of fragmented scenes and dances that occur and reoccur in ever-changing permutations. Working in counterpoint to one another, the performers come at the material from every angle, rearranging the evidence in different configurations.
Detective Work channels the relationship between mystery and multiplicity – the sense that there are many possible outcomes to any single process. Shifting between the absurd, the melancholic and the uncanny, the show invites us into a place of constant questioning that ultimately feels hopeful. In this moment of great uncertainty, Detective Work looks to mystery as an antidote to despair.
NEUROLIVE is a 5-year interdisciplinary research project bringing artists, scientists and audiences together to study what makes live experiences special. Detective Work is the first live performance created as part of this research.
BOOKING DETAILS
The performances of Detective Work are both artistic events and a scientific research process. You are invited to participate in one of two different ways:
Performance Ticket only
- Book this ticket if you would like to attend the performance without wearing measurement devices.
- You will be invited to contribute to the research by completing questionnaires before and after the performance.
- Please arrive by 7pm. The performance and questionnaires will end at approximately 9pm.
Performance Ticket + EEG Participation
Book this ticket if you would like to contribute to NEUROLIVE’s research by wearing measurement devices throughout the performance.
We have capacity to fit just over half of the audience with mobile electroencephalography (EEG) devices for each performance. Recording this number of EEGs at one time during a live performance will be a world first, which your participation will directly contribute to.
