12/8
In 2007, Thomas Hauert created a new piece for the fourth year P.A.R.T.S. students. This project is based on a choreographic method using the memory of music as the unifying score for the movement of a group. The music (that the audience don’t hear) is 12 por 8 by Alejandro Sanz, a musically complex pop song in a 12/8 time signature, combining binary and tertiary rhythms. The fourth year P.A.R.T.S. students learned to sing an a capella arrangement by heart and sing it in their heads, communicating through movement with the others to stay in sync.
