BODY LIVE LIVE MUSIC is an ongoing venture dedicated to site-inspired performance projects that bring music, movement, and environment into dialogue. Through works created for artistic and natural landscapes, co-founders Kate Nordstrum and Dimitri Chamblas explore the relationship between body, sound, and place, guided by a commitment to 'shared reality'.
Chamblas and Nordstrum began collaborating in 2019, laying the foundation for the artistic partnership that has evolved into BODY LIVE LIVE MUSIC. Current projects include an expansive staging of environmentalist composer John Luther Adams' Crossing Open Ground for 40 musicians and a new commission for the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Rituals festival, where the decommissioned Topanga Tower will be transformed into a living instrument through sound and movement.
Combined, their work has been presented by leading cultural institutions (Opéra national de Paris, The Barbican, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Brooklyn Academy of Music, MOCA Los Angeles, Tate Modern, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Carnegie Hall, Musée du Louvre, Walker Art Center, Performa, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, MASS MoCA, Ultima Festival, Centre Pompidou, Center for the Art of Performance UCLA, Montpellier Dance Festival) and iconic brands (Chanel, Longchamp, Dom Perignon, Van Cleef & Arpels) in natural sites, historic halls, abandoned structures, floating cinemas, frozen lakes, fashion runways, public parks, and architectural wonders.
