Moving_Imagined Fragments is an instant-composition performance that challenges linear perceptions of time through movement. Scores function as choreographic tools that capture traces of the past; by activating them, the performers renegotiate and redefine that past. This process creates a fluid relationship between what was and what is—a constant disruption of the present moment. Ultimately, the work asks: What is the “here and now”? From what substances is an instant made, and how do we experience it?

If our heart were large enough to love life in all its details, we would see
that every instant is at once a giver and a plunderer, and that a young or
tragic novelty-always sudden-never ceases to illustrate the essential
discontinuity of time.Gaston Bachellard,
Intuition of the Instant
