Commissioned by ID and supported by ACE, Audio Dancing is a series of audio scores composed by Gaby Agis and recorded in public spaces across London.
Audio Dancing is a series of audio scores composed by dance artist Gaby Agis and recorded in outdoor spaces across London – in parks, scrubland, housing estates, cemeteries and riverside beaches.
In each 30-minute audio score, Gaby provides a guided structure using rich and imaginative language for anyone to use wherever and whenever they choose. The scores were recorded outdoors but participants are welcome to use them inside or out. Participants are then invited to continue with their own practice—dancing, writing or drawing—before moving into the rest of their day.
Each audio score is followed by a conversation between Gaby and a different guest artist in which they discuss their experience of the score and reflect on their own practice. Guests include Kathy Crick, Joseph Funnell, Rachel Gildea, Heni Hale, Mary Prestidge, Helen Rowsell, Owen Smith, Mickel Smithen, Eve Stainton, Cléo Tabakian, Vicky Thompson and Florence Uniacke.
Commissioned by Independent Dance, Audio Dancing was originally conceived as a response to the pandemic to offer further ways of engaging with practice in one’s own time and environment. We are delighted to continue to be able to make it available to practitioners internationally.
