𝐄𝐱𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞 | 𝐌𝐨̛̀ 𝐚̂𝐦 is an intimate web presentation of the online research project between dance artists from Van Huynh Company (UK) and MORUA ARTS PROJECT (Vietnam). Their research is based on the exploration of what Dam Van Huynh refers to as “physical sound art” and the relationship between movement & sound. This short R&D looks at how movement can extend sound art into performance, placing both forms as subjects within the art making process: not just as an accompaniment but as an equal part of the performance and at times even as the origin of it. The Vietnam/UK teams have collected materials throughout this R&D under the project name “Sound Barrier” which are accessible on our blog (link below), giving further insight into our research process.
The presentation will start with a short workshop/warm-up session led by moderator/dramaturge Dat Nguyen inviting attendants into our process.

Over the past 6 months, our UK and Vietnam teams have been meeting regularly over the internet to research together about the connections between movement and sound. The starting question was: “In the context of a pandemic, how can expression be shared when new barriers are being erected?”
The artists experiment with the concept of noise/sound as an agent for change in the form of physical sound art as a medium, especially the ways that sound blurs boundaries but also challenges hierarchies. Change is defined within this context as creating visibility and encouraging the amplification of the voice.
Sound, in this research, experiments and operates simultaneously as something materially produced within social and technological relations and something interpreted and imagined. The dancers are led by dance artists Dam Van Huynh and Ngo Thanh Phuong to immerse themselves in the concept and embody it through the use of found objects and collected sound recordings.

𝐄𝐱𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞 | 𝐌𝐨̛̀ 𝐚̂𝐦 là một chiều chia sẻ thân mật về dự án nghiên cứu trực tuyến giữa các nghệ sĩ chuyển động đến từ Đoàn múa Văn Huỳnh (Vương quốc Anh) và MORUA (Hội An, Việt Nam). Nghiên cứu này dựa trên việc khám phá những gì Đàm Văn Huynh gọi tên là “nghệ thuật âm thanh vật lý” (physical sound art) và mối quan hệ giữa âm thanh và chuyển động. Quá trình nghiên cứu và thử nghiệm ngắn ngày này xem xét khả năng chuyển động mở rộng nghệ thuật âm thanh trong trình diễn, đặt cả hai hình thức này làm chủ thể của quá trình sáng tạo: không chỉ là thành tố phụ họa mà là những yếu tố có giá trị ngang nhau trong một màn trình diễn và đôi khi, là chính khởi nguyên của nó. Các nghệ sĩ đến từ Việt Nam/Vương quốc Anh đã thu thập nhiều tư liệu trong suốt quá trình nghiên cứu với tên gọi ban đầu của dự án là “Đường biên âm thanh” (Sound Barrier) - có thể truy cập trực tiếp trên trang blog chính thức phía dưới, cung cấp nhiều thông tin về quá trình nghiên cứu của chúng tôi.
Buổi trò chuyện sẽ khởi đầu bằng workshop âm thanh của người điều phối/dramaturge Đạt Nguyễn.

Trong suốt 6 tháng vừa qua, các nghệ sĩ đến từ Việt Nam và Vương quốc Anh/Hồng Kông đã thực hiện nhiều chuyến phiêu du trực tuyến qua zoom để gặp gỡ và cùng nghiên cứu về những khả năng khác của cơ thể - chuyển động và âm thanh. Chúng tôi khởi đi từ câu hỏi: “Trong bối cảnh đại dịch, bằng cách nào ta có thể chia sẻ những biểu đạt cá nhân khi những đường biên được vạch ra ngày một nhiều?”
Các nghệ sĩ tham gia dự án thực hiện nhiều thử nghiệm với ý tưởng về âm thanh/tiếng ồn (noise) như là khả năng biến dịch trong hình thức sắp đặt nghệ thuật âm thanh (physical sound art) như một phương tiện, đặc biệt trong cách âm thanh làm mờ các đường biên, cũng như thách thức các hệ thống thứ bậc. Trong bối cảnh này, sự thay đổi được định nghĩa thông qua khả năng làm cho những âm/giọng được nghe/thấy.
Âm thanh, trong nghiên cứu này, là những chất liệu được tạo ra từ các quan hệ xã hội và công nghệ, đồng thời, là những chất liệu đến từ các diễn dịch và tưởng tượng. Các nghệ sĩ được dẫn dắt bởi biên đạo múa Đàm Văn Huỳnh và Ngô Thanh Phương để đắm mình vào những ý niệm và biểu đạt chúng thông qua những thử nghiệm với các vật thể và những đoạn ghi âm lượm lặt.

#BritishCouncilCTC #CultureConnectsUs #SoundBarrier #ExquisiteNoise
Connections Through Culture (CTC) is an arts grants programme run by the British Council in the UK and East Asia. It was established in August 2019 in Southeast Asia to provide grants to residents of the UK, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam from the following groups: Artists, Cultural and arts professionals, Representatives of art collectives, creative hubs, networks or organisations, and Researchers. For the 2020-2021 part of the programme, the British Council supports online collaboration projects between Southeast Asia and the UK. Available grants in 2020 in Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. It was created to further international face-to-face discussions needed to develop projects beyond initial expressions of interest. www.britishcouncil.vn
Sound Barrier (Working Title)
This collaboration between dance artists Dam Van Huynh (Van Huynh Company) and Ngo Thanh Phuong (MORUA) will allow us to answer the question “In the context of a pandemic, how can expression be shared when new barriers are being erected?”
We will experiment with the concept of physical sound art as a medium, especially the ways that sound blurs boundaries but also challenges hierarchies.
Sound, in this proposal experiments and operates simultaneously as something materially produced within social and technological relations and something interpreted and imagined. The project will dissect and question the voice, not simply as words uttered but instead as sounds shaped, heard, evaluated, and then collided together to form sense and (non)sense furthering an insistence on freedom of form and more importantly freedom of the self.
We will ask the performers to immerse themselves in the concept and embody it through the use of found objects, collected sound recordings.
