Abstract
The performance-installation one to one (2018-20) presents music as a dynamic, social interaction--a site to forge connections via entrainment. It is an intimately staged sequence of three pieces, each for one performance and one audience member at a time. Interpersonal entrainment describes how human beings mutually adapt to and coordinate with one another over time. These processes facilitate pro-social effects across a variety of activities, including music making. In one to one (2018-20), I contribute novel resources (i.e. conceptual frameworks, situative scoring strategies, heuristics) for creative practice, means of composing social dynamics, which nuance and expand the field of performer-audience interactions. Nonverbal communication studies offer the (quasi-)periodic cues performers attend to in each audience member. Interpersonal entrainment describes the dyadic micro-dynamics that unfold between them--reframing musical rhythm in social terms. By reciprocating each audience member's attentional and behavioral rhythms in a sensitive, co-operative manner, the performers offer exercises in empathetic imagination
