- _Performing the compositional act with bouncy castles, soap and shh_ is a portfolio of three creative works by Andy Ingamells presented as a Research Catalogue exposition with accompanying research commentary in the form of a conference paper. The three works are practical examples of ways in which notation can be reframed to become an integral part of the physical theatre of a musical performance. This act of reframing is presented as part of a process of reimagining relationships within musical performances through an interpretation of a diagram by Fluxus composer George Brecht (1926–2008). In these three works the act of reading is integral to the theatre of musical performance. The creative outcomes are:
_Shh_ (2014), a one-minute audio-visual work;
_Waschen_ (2015), a performance of indeterminate duration documented by a 9-minute video; and
_Make each face a living note_ (2018), a performance of indeterminate duration with a graphic score, documented by a 1-minute video.
The exposition includes a paper presented at the TENOR International Conference on Technologies for Music Notation and Representation at Monash University (July, 2019) and subsequently published in the peer-reviewed conference proceedings (open access). The paper provides full documentation of the research process underpinning the creative outcomes.
