Performance Inventions is a collaborative artistic practice developed by Nancy Spanier and Paul Oertel, dedicated to creating original performance methodologies and new forms of artistic expression that illuminate essential dimensions of human experience. At its core is a search for integration between form and freedom, structure and spontaneity, matter and spirit.
