Forest AND Trees


[e-mail to Eva and Vicky]

Red Thread Rides Again!!

In our (trans-Atlantic) conversation today Eva and I were mulling over what we think should happen in the next two weeks in the studio.

We need to make a string of sections/ scores/ a set framework that we can repeat – one half hour or 45 minutes
We can run this as solos/ duets/ trios
Arrive at this form by 2/3 -3/4 of the way thru the 2 weeks

Zoom in zoom out, carefully crafted details and sketching more lightly to consider whole (forest and trees)

Focus on dancing/movement material
Develop more set material/scores for generating movement
Creating balance with image/theatrical moments
Movement not “stuck in”!

Solos and duets with outside eye watching

Each of us can bring to this intensive some ideas of how the whole might work (or cohere) – rhythms, sense of overall pattern, strategies for assembly, ideas about how things may progress or shift

Time line – a day of remembering, 5 days of creating and assembling forms, 2 days of running longer arcs and swaths and continuing to develop new, 2 days of running complete form in varying configurations, letting it morph and considering the coming sextet. Showing.
