This is an excerpt from 'The Shape of Ritual' performed for the camera at the Wotruba Church in Vienna, 2017. 'The Shape of Ritual' is a project exploring the relationship between sound, architecture and the body. The aim of the project is to transcribe three selected ceremonial buildings (representing Classical, Gothic and Modernist architecture) into music and compare them observing how the mathematical principles that inform their architecture manifest (or do not manifest) in their musical renditions. One of the buildings is the Modernist Wotruba Church in Vienna. The structure was transcribed first in to music by James Metcalfe and then into dance by dancers Waltraud Brauner and Veronika Zott. The dance was performed for the camera on 13 July 2017.
