Henry McPherson (UK, 1995)
More Than One Thing (2021)
Embracing improvisation across the board, Henry McPherson’s PhD project More Than One Thing encompasses dance, music and performance art, bringing a huge roster of collaborators in on the task of ‘collective meaning-making’. Through live studio sessions, as well as online environments demanded by the pandemic, the group has shared spontaneous moments of expression, combining their individual approaches to performance and considering the different thresholds they hold for themselves in their improvisation.
McPherson sought to make More Than One Thing an exploration of the point where sound and movement intersect, and the ways in which they inform one another. In this visual installation, he and his group document the chance moments and collaborative investigations of the project, with annotated videos and studio footage providing fascinating insight into the act of co-creating spontaneity.
