Fielding: Solo with Cases is a choreographic work by Shannon Cooney shaped by the performance of Moveable Cinema scores drawn by Marla Hlady from her series Graphic Scores (2010) and Sound Events (2010) (ink and graphite on paper). These multilayered drawings are integrated spatially, viscerally and temporally. Layers of light, direction, and texture both highlight the performance of the practice and subtly inform the vibrancy of the movement.

The cases are sound objects created by Marla Hlady. They are playing music and sound continuously, only the movement of the cases silences them momentarily, and when moved again they continue to play. They are the dimensions of a vinyl record carrying case.

Exhibition History: 2018 Somatische Akademie (Berlin, Germany); 2018 Vierte Welt (Berlin, Germany).
