THE POKE ORCHESTRA

Performance, 2006

A ten-piece human musical instrument and performance system. Prompted by visual cues displayed by 35mm slide projectors, five musical duos POKE, PINCH, FLICK, SLAP, NOOGIE, SHOVE, and WEDGY each other to a choreographed arrangement of iconic commands. The end result is a choral music composed of human screams.
