Resonance Practice is a practice-based performance included in WORK OUT III: Interference Practice, an exhibition of performance and sculpture by artists Monica C. LoCascio, Laura Stoll, and Zsuzsa Rózsavölgyi. 

The work explores the interaction of bodies on separate trajectories. What happens when they come into contact? How do those bodies experience and acknowledge the connection? And how do the repercussions of the collision resonate out of the impact location and through the bodies themselves? 

These questions are explored as the three performers travel and collide on circles, drawn by hand and at random, and perhaps using different performers’ body parts as radius references. Their paths define both the trajectories of the performers as well as the collective space of the performers and audience. 

This work comes out of the artist’s exploration of large bodies and structures in space and is informed by her interest in biological sensing mechanisms.
