Time Design in Performing Arts

Time design is polydisciplinary conscious coordinating/harmonizing changes in actions and perceptions – quants of time. Time design provides tools for directing flow of perception of time. From ancient rituals of collective creation/sublimination/meeting the unknown/transcendence, laws of Time design have been transferred mostly within performing practices and poetics of governing human attention by consciously organizing actions/changes.
Time Design deals with causality (continuity), synchronicity (simultaneous polyphonic composition of media), and anti-gravity (radiative living creative force).
Connecting and exchanging knowledge of these areas through polydisciplinary explorations and discoveries lead to new poetics of rituals, by which directed consciousness recognizes tensions and transforms them.
