Lisa Nelson’s Tuning Scores are a practice and format for spontaneous, improvised composition that serves as both a performance and a research tool. Participants use a combination of movement, verbal “calls,” and sensory engagement with the environment to negotiate their collective understanding of space, time, and movement. The scores foster a dynamic feedback system where every participant acts as a performer, director, and spectator, creating a shared, ever-evolving “image space” through real-time editing and a dialogue of shared perception.
