performance experience

The duo of Min Yoon and Nick Dunston uses structured improvisations within interdisciplinary contexts. Dunston plays with various forms of feedback, Yoon with butoh dance and improvisation. Notions of physicality, communication between bodies, and performativity are central to the duo.

They continue where discontinuation happens, forming sutures and scars to explore relational dynamics between the bodies, instruments, the inner and outer experience, audience, and space. Together they make rogue interplays between Nick’s arm, leg, banjo, feedback loops, and Min’s interactions with the inner emotions and impulses, outer, and shared and broken spaces.

They experiment with ways of communicating underneath known disciplines and improvisation forms, at the edges of formal and folk expressions.

“It scatters pulses of meaning and sends them on a collision course with other pulses.”
