When they improvise, performers work on several levels of perception. They listen, watch, feel, act and react according to their perceptions and those of their partners in a given space-time.

Choreographer, singer and dancer of many face, Mark Tompkins manipulates genres and mixes forms with a tireless desire for breaking down barriers. With the I.D.A. company, founded in 1983, he produces performative sui generis pieces mingling music, song, text and video.
