Lecture-Performance
Evgenia Tsanana - Sensing Time in Performance Contexts

A lecture-performance on sensing time, especially in performance contexts, based on subjective facts.
The lecture is a reflection on my experience with time from the perspective both of a performer and of a performance recipient. 

Description:
I read my text sitting on a chair. I use gestures and projections of drawings to illustrate the content.

Quote from the introduction:
"I will report on the way I sense time both as a performer and as a performance recipient, and I will assume that my sensing of time is not unlike yours. […]

I will split time into pieces and sort them, I will fit those into moulds or give them faces, personify them and - if I succeed - I will give them appropriate names."
