About In the drop
In the drop is the set-up and crafting of a performative soundspace for re- existence. It is the reassembly of an an-archic body to reimagine a world to come. A sound space that merges precarity and excess, abundance and fragility in a constellation of sonorous events overlapping and agglomerating around listening. An emergent system that involves forces of aliveness and violence, coupled at once, as one.
Working with the performativity of live sound, movement and voice, In the drop is carried out with the aim of subverting anthropocentric and colonial worldviews and modes of relating between bodies and materials, in favor of coexistence, difference and affective proximity.
After the catastrophe, we listen; variegated, we explode. We aim for a bond in complicity and commitment. A perceptual engagement, from the quiet sounds to the noise that stretches listening. We listen through the vertebrae, through the soles of the feet and the back of the mind, for an auditory imagination unbound from capitalism.
In the drop is the culmination of Paula Montecinos Oliva’s two-year research trajectory at DAS Choreography.

Paula Montecinos Oliva (CL) is a dancemaker and performance artist currently based in Amsterdam. With a focus on choreography and sound art, she seeks to critically engage, re-imagine and experiment with topics of power(s), sound, tech and affect(s), to investigate the sonic as a space to extend the modes of perception of space, time and embody energy, and reconfigure performer- spectatorship status.
Paula’s work integrates DIY technologies, somatic practice and movement research and takes on different formats like performance, concerts, sound installations and guided experiences.
