Laugh-o-lution

​​TAP XP (2020)

Laugh-o-lution
is a TAP XP project that invites participants to laugh out loud through a creative exploration, contemplation and sharing of what makes us laugh.

A
2-week residency period is being utilized by DMo and her collaborators to set up the art playground as three participatory activity stations that include: Station 1 featuring a Laughpit for riotous jumping and laughter, accompanied by a rock/techno/metal and laughter soundtrack; Station 2 featuring an installation made from hanging balloon and light strands, accompanied by a moving figure in a morphsuit, that encourages a wander through one’s Laughter Memoirs; and Station 3 featuring a local stand-up comedian and open mic opportunity. 

​The project encourages laughter, as well as the contemplation of laughter in life - how it feels when it’s missing verses how it feels when it’s present; our ability to consciously use it to heal and bring feelings of happiness; awareness of what makes us laugh; and how it feels to make others laugh. As with every TAP XP event, it allows participants to creatively explore and immerse themselves as deeply as they choose to go, as well as create a deeper connection with their inner world, and in this case, hopefully experience a ‘laugh-o-lution’!

Symbology: moving through

​​TAP XP (2018)
Symbology: moving through
is a TAP XP project presenting DMo's
exploration of interconnection through specific symbology - elements of communication that allow people to go beyond what is known or seen - at the end of a 3-week residency period.

The
art playground is set up as a participatory installation of three activity stations. The first station features local dancer Andonis Kouvalakis, repeating a specific movement phrase that attendees can learn and perform in three different states of awareness. The second station features a video projection and sound installation of binaural beats that participants mimic with their own voices to feel diverse body vibrations. The third station has images of varying symbols, along with activity cards placed in the centre of the studio with corresponding exercise experiments that participants randomly pick and trial.

​The main objective of the presentation i
s to encourage participants to expand their awareness of subtler energetic exchanges happening in their self, their environment and universal connections via simple and playful means that are adaptable to a person’s personal vibe. In conjunction with the subject's exploration, DMo also presents a public open lab called "Connecting with Symbology".

The Prelude presents the beginning of life, using re-worked passages from the bible in spoken word and movement, serving as an introduction to themes of oneness, nature’s importance, having roots, and growing from authenticity, expressed in the main dance performance.

Pinkafeld: Urban Provincial

DANCE THEATRE (2016)  |  OUTDOOR

Pinkafeld: Urban Provincial is an outdoor dance performance happening in the main intersection of Pinkafeld in Burgenland, Austria. The performance delivers the culmination of a 2-week residency at D.ID, exploring the creative process in art and life led by DMo. The performance includes spoken word and dance movement, with performers weaving their choreography in an impromptu manner amongst passing traffic, both vehicle and pedestrian. It's an interesting feat to pull off in a town with strong links to Austria's nationalist right-wing.

​Concept & direction by Danielle 'DMo' Oke
Choreographed & performed by Sujin Lee, Verena Herterich, Paul Kofler, Helena Estermann, Marie Schmitz
When: Thursday September 8, 2016 @ 15:00

Hauptstraße and Kreuzgasse/Mariengasse, 7423 Pinkafeld, Burgenland, Austria
