Join us for a performance by Stephanie Patsula this Saturday at 2:30 PM for Schmoozy 2021.

Stephanie Patsula will perform Sympathetic Resonance, an embodied sound and movement assemblage. With the use of water filled glass instruments amplified by a hydrophone, and two contact microphones, Patsula uses the resonance of the room to create an immersive sound bath. The harmonic phenomenon of sympathetic vibration is achieved when a passive body responds to external vibrations in a similar harmonic range. By creating a live feedback loop with her body, instruments and the acoustics of the room, she creates improvisational soundscapes with the intention for vibrational reciprocity with the individuals, objects and architecture of the spaces she performs. The process of responding to sensations in her body to create an experience for others, opens up channels of emotional empathy and Patsula attempts to playfully engage with proximity to the audience.

Custom instruments designed by Stephanie Patsula and Glasswork fabricated by leah kudel.
