During the intensive week, Vagia and Irene (colleges at MA/MFA) helped me with my research. We had one to one session where I spend time with them trying different scores/tasks with the topic : LAUGHTER. Because of my interest on Intimacy I preferred to meet them separately. At the beginning, I wanted to give a ” performative” aspect to our meeting. The idea was to try perform and research at the same time. I wanted to start questioning my self about the nature of “one to one performance”. Can you make simultaneously a performance that it will be a research process? It was very interesting the fact that in front of me I had to performers, informed already about the nature of my research. From these two encounters came out interesting material that I used in a second phase in order to make something else with more “artistic” character. But of course I didn´t felt that it was about “one to one performance” in the way that this term has been established. I felt I was somewhere “in between”. So I named these kind of one to one sessions , “O to O”, were I try to collect information about my research, experiment new things and at the same time to “behave” as performer/ researcher.
