Marili Pizarro is presented with a movement score to perform in a local Peloponnese café. Reimagined into fluid a two-minute routine, Marili reinterprets the calligraphic qualities of the score live. Using the same tools as the original score, Marili’s movements are then scribed into over 250 Calligraphic glyphs. Each glyph resembling a character in a primordial alphabet – a language that then forms the basis for a sound score given to Robert Jedrzejewsk.

Studying the movement of Loanna Kabylafka and Stavros Apostolatos in Instant Quartet (2010) and scribing each movement as a reverse score. The transcriptions of the movements were run through optical character recognition data to abstract new text. This new text together with the original transcriptions were painted on our bodies and then performed in real time. A collective performance in the same location, Instant Quartet in re-enacted eight years later.
