you should probably hop on a ferry this friday
After a much-too-long hiatus from performing and dancemaking, I will be showing off how both of these hats fit my pretty little head (simultaneously!) this week.
I am formally inviting YOU to Powers of i, a fusion of choreography and structured improvisation created and performed by Sydnie Mosley and ME.
When? Friday, June 11 @ 4pm
Where? Nolan Park on Governor’s Island
What? Powers of i is an ever-changing dance that explores the art of creativity in a surprisingly mathematical manner. The duet morphs into something new with each audience, as viewers reshape the space and contribute to the sound score, rearranging the sequence of movement events in the process. Providing observations on choreographic procedure, Powers of i is formulaic in its construction, complex in its design and meticulous in its execution. Follow and alter our addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of movement to a final solution.
Passive viewing is discouraged. Grab a part of the problem and move it to a new point in the space. Vocalize what you’re rearranging and watch the dance move in a new direction.
Why? As part of FIGMENT NYC 2010. Check it out – pretty neato.
This is a risky one, folks, because audience participation is what keeps the dance going. Syd and I need you. So, all abooooooard! See you there!
