What a weekend-after a year of working on the incredible danceRoom Spectroscopy project the rehearsal room was mine, and the choreographic ideas were flowing: It’s hard to describe the sensation of choreographing work, of building images with people in space, and feeling the layers begin to come together- that are satisfying for the dancers, the narrative, and visual imagery. Images that have been flowing through your head, flowing into reality.
But this weekend that was only half of it: The real power came from having three other collaborators in the room responding to the creative input and adding reflections of their craft in real time into the visuals and the soundscape. Especially when, in that cyclical nature of life, I was creating images and phrases in response to everything they’d been creating in the workshops last year!
Can’t wait to show you the videos! Can’t wait for you to meet the cast- they’re excellent. PS- The photo’s by Paul Blakemore
