Performance Inventions is a collaborative artistic practice dedicated to creating original performance methodologies and new forms of artistic expression that illuminate essential dimensions of human experience. Coined by Nancy Spanier and developed in collaboration with Paul Oertel, it embodies an ongoing search for integration between form and freedom, structure and spontaneity, matter and spirit.
