Moi Tran

Moi Tran (London) uses a multi-disciplinary and a research based practice to create live performance, video, object making, music, text and installation to examine the way social, ecological and political technologies shape our private, social and geographical identities. Collaboration and examination of a common emotional vocabulary underpin her art. Tran works with performers including poets, dancers, actors and community performers from transnational identity groups to challenge conventional performance making and the performer/viewer exchange, using improvisation and duration to investigate alternative ideas of protest and resistance.

In Halmstad Moi Tran is interested in exploring encounters that center on the act of attending to emotions through events of sonic witnessing. She proposes that this might be examined in acts of active listening and active sound making through and within a repository of emotional knowledge expressed through sonic encounters.
