Tolkien’s <u>The Lord of the Rings</u>, choreographer Trisha Brown, Jack Kerouac, classic modern dance, and the woodland trails surrounding the Silo Residency site in rural Pennsylvania. The half-hour duet features Hancock and Scott McPheeters, with new music composed specifically for the work by Cicada Brokaw. Constructed costumes from Hancock and McPheeters’ own cast-offs (clothes that would have gone to Goodwill) are magically transformed by dancer and designer Patricia Dominquez. From this somewhat queer and certainly complex amalgam of material comes a crystalline construction, a dance that offers audiences a peak inside the fantastic world of the </span><b><i>poor lost sometime boys</i></b><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

This is reflexive of the physical movement score as well. Do you remember any of the specific sounds you heard (both live and recorded)? Did you create meaning for yourself based on the relationship between what was going on visually and what was going on aurally?</li><li>Where and when did this exist in time for you?

I was in a master class of Mark <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Haim</span> who taught about the concept of rituals and how we can create our personal rituals... I think I want to explore this "work" (untitled) as my ritual during the next months until I feel the piece is complete and round. (I know Deborah Hay and Anna Halprin have been working around this concept).<br /><br />I have a few questions for those who saw the piece at the showing in January. <br /><br />1. I would like to know if you could associate the "work" with a particular moment of your life?<br />2. Could you tell the ages of the characters?<br />3. Did the constant sound created with our mouths bother you?<br />4. I would like to know if any section/part was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">particularly</span> interesting to you.<br />5. I would like to know if any particular image, story, era, or/and character came to your mind?<br /><br />Your feedback will be very helpful and appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks.<br />Guillermo<br /><br />Post any comments for Guillermo here.nEW Festival:2011-2012http://www.blogger.com/profile/02763681276352269769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1910246935634964794.post-76142263560192241472010-01-16T08:28:00.000-08:002010-01-16T08:31:10.606-08:00Nora Feedback<!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal">Post any comments you have for Nora here.</p> <!--EndFragment-->nEW Festival:2011-2012http://www.blogger.com/profile/02763681276352269769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1910246935634964794.post-36423347764752929092010-01-06T06:02:00.000-08:002010-01-06T06:13:25.041-08:00Abby's Second Rehearsal<div><br /></div><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dy2BuSdHCkINJNgyJsM1sZ9nkdFBIOBDNtsAlc4-epNy3aJTo-8vf1p9cOgOwWIY8gUhbzes0KqVUiVKHhEcQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Hey Everyone- Hope the festival is going well there. This is a clip from my second meeting. Still working with the idea of harmonics, I'm focusing the movement on the lower half of the body, and seeing how it resonates through through the rest. The ideas are pretty rapidly changing in this clip from looking at harmony, melody, dissonance, and pitch.nEW Festival:2011-2012http://www.blogger.com/profile/02763681276352269769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1910246935634964794.post-86495043791583767142010-01-03T13:49:00.000-08:002010-01-03T14:03:48.555-08:00Abby's nEW Rehearsal in OH<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzlX5CwIJCs5ymi7Acx-wEdFn4v5h0MIcKKE8bWFpUofVWhw-QUwcWOfJ4arNgeNdJPZ1VHwNLbrnoGLr-tOg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe> nEW Community: For this January's installment of the festival I will be working in Ohio because my classes start here on the 4th.
