Drawing out the particularities of working in twos, with a focus on
collaborative performance making, this book considers the duet as a
particular configuration in which to think, the duo a microcosm of
humankind, and presents everyday entanglement of form and practice
seen through the lens of the smallest multiple unit. This book
explores the practical, philosophical and aesthetic implications of
performers working in pairs. It focuses on a ten-year period in the
work of Karen Christopher, alongside wider reflections on the duet
as a concept in artistic and social life. The book presents an
investigation of the entanglement of form and practice seen through
the lens of the smallest multiple unit of collaboration: the pair.
During this ten-year period, Christopher set out to create a series
of duets by working with one other artist. The 25 pieces in the
collection includes reflections from an international group of
collaborators, artists, linguists, physicists, theologians,
philosophers and performance scholars. Many of them deal with the
question of artistic collaboration and entanglement, contemplating
the significance of those terms both on an interpersonal and global
level. This book provides a fascinating insight into the creative
working process of a particular artist, whilst providing a
blueprint for how collaboration might take place. There are many
passages that might provide inspiration for other artists and
overall the book makes a moving and heartfelt plea for
interpersonal open-ness and mutual investment. Primary readership
will be among international theatre-makers, artists, performance
and art scholars, philosophers, teachers, directors, actors,
dancers, performance artists and those interested in creative and
personal writing about performance, art and art-making. It will be
of particular relevance to those with an interest in Karen
Christopher, or in the other contributors.
