Sound, Site and the City in Nadia Vadori-Gauthier’s Resistant Dancing Project Une minute de danse par jour

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the recorded city soundscape and its relation to dance in Nadia VadoriGauthier’s resistant dancing project Une minute de danse par jour started in 2015. Referring to the concepts of site and non-site, site-specific performance, sonoric landscape and Cage’s experiment with city soundscapes, I look into three types of sites used by the dancer: the street, means or sites of transport and isolated places (cemeteries). I am particularly interested in the ways in which the found sound determines the dancer’s movements and how it is framed both by the dancer and the camera.
