Salvage.Recycle.Repeat

A snippet of movement material from rehearsal #3 of “the mega piece”. And, no that is not gratuitous, sexy-dance, self-touching you’re seeing. Shame on you. It makes sense in the larger context of the piece. I do plan to shoot it from this angle and from much higher, and, at the moment anyway, it will be paired with a corresponding live performance.

If some of this choreography looks familiar, it’s because I stole some of it from myself. A few years back, I started work on a piece that never quite came together as far as movement and concept are concerned. Actually, at times the choreography and concept felt like two magnets I was trying to push together. I didn’t show it very much. I was really frustrated with it (despite a lovely performance from Kristen and amazing video from Brent). I feel like I finally found a “home” for this movement. Lots more to come.




PS and, am I crazy? Do you feel you’ve seen 20 dance pieces the past several years that have used this “In the Mood for Love" music? It’s lovely, but getting music composed.
