FLASH PERFORMANCE / NINETY SECONDS

FLASH PERFORMANCE / NINETY SECONDS

The ninety-second structure appears repeatedly.

It reduces the time available for:

• perfectionism;
• conceptual explanation;
• excessive preparation;
• self-censorship.

It asks the performer to choose:

• one fragment;
• one image;
• one relation;
• one action;
• one immediate compositional decision.

The short duration does not mean the material is insignificant.

It creates a temporary container for provisional work.
