Space is defined and redefined by the flow of movement permeating in and out of its interior. Space in motion and in a state of change can constantly evolve to suit the needs of its hosts. A subtle shift in the daily routine allows for a moment of repose, where, in the absence of pre-determinacy, its collective inhabitants can explore the environment with fresher eyes as a social arena. The most malleable tool that reinforces this system is often the intangible, the ephemeral. ‘Post facto’ encompasses the essence of improvisational jazz utilizing the sonic and performative qualities which can mediate a new architectural experience. Re-appropriating the various pathways throughout the terraces of Gund Hall, the performers navigate these corridors, examining while re-rendering perceptions of the building into a collaborative stage. By embodying their instruments, the performers reconcile a new relationship shifting the collective focus into the possibilities of what can transpire through spontaneity, while suspending our perception of time.
