Combining live poetry, multiple cassette tape players, field and sourced recordings, and sculptural sound objects, the work unfolds as a shifting field of listening.Poems written, recited, and recorded by Mami Takahashi circulate through several cassette players simultaneously, creating overlapping layers of voice that drift, echo, and misalign. The performers move between visibility and partial concealment, activating sound as both atmosphere and structure. Rather than presenting narrative testimony, the performance deploys fragments — spoken phrases, repetition, breath — as compositional material.In Body Deploys, the body is not fixed at center stage. It disperses, reappears, and relocates within sound. Listening becomes spatial, contingent on where one stands and how one attends.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/a5d5f9c0-195e-11f1-9467-2923091d78de-rimg-w1200-h373-dcffffff-gmir.jpg This project is partially supported by a CityArts Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs &amp; Special Events.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/b4c29fb0-195e-11f1-8747-1187d79d3166-rimg-w1200-h712-dcffffff-gmir.jpg The International Museum of Surgical Science acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/b4fa5180-195e-11f1-8747-1187d79d3166-rimg-w416-h740-dc191112-gmir.jpg Mami Takahashi is a multidisciplinary artist from Tokyo who is currently a resident of Chicago.
