Wenn Wörter nicht flüssig kommen und hängen bleiben.Wenn das Reden zur Qual wird und beim Reden auffällige Grimassen entstehen. Wenn Panik & Angst zum täglichen Begleiter werden und wenn normale, alltägliche Tätigkeiten zur Herausforderung werden.- So ist das Leben als Stotternde, oder genauer gesagt, so ist mein Leben. Es ist meine Lebensgeschichte mit Höhen und Tiefen.
The books included in the series 'Choreography as Conditioning' are rooted in a cycle of work sessions entitled CASC at KASK, in which students work together with invited guests. They explore the notions of choreography, understood as ways of organizing subjects in their surroundings, and conditioning in both art-making and society-making. Where, how, and by whom are things organized and what kind of landscapes of experience are made (im)possible by the practices we enact and encounter? 'The Orphans of Tar--A Speculative Opera' answers the question posed in the second book by transforming life into voices and presenting possible mindsets through co-authoring a factual fiction. As such, it constitutes a mental space in which fictitious characters find an almost disturbing expansion of their thoughts. Accordingly, the book can be considered as an allegory of human thoughts as (possible) actions: what could happen becomes what does happen. For better and worse.
