“Swelling” - Sarah Jaffe

Imagine slow dancing to this song and you have one of my favorite moments of Om Fusion Sunday night.

VD Working Score: TELEPHONE TABLEAU 1

unrehearsed-ensemble-cm-texts:

• Choose a phone
• Stand with your phone
• A phone is a phone
• All of the drama of this dance is in your feet, remain standing
• Place your stillnesses in your relationship to your phone
• You’re looking down always
• Unless you are looking up and answering the phone
• There might be no end to this score, stay until the conversation on the other end is fulfilling….or you might decide to simply exit

Created by Vanessa DeWolf in scoreLAB, April 2012

My role score in the PHONE QUINTET for the OtB preview today. We’ll be doing a different full-length score (this is only an out-cropping from a full score) for the preview, tech rehearsal, dress, and each of the two performances.

Seeing Chunky Move’s Connected on Thursday! I would have loved to see Mortal Engine—my first encounter with Chunky Move was through this trailer.

explorations in autonomy

Notes from an unrehearsed rehearsal (the three Imost needed to hear):

-DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU DESIRE.

- IT’S OKAY TO BE LOST.

- YOUR IMPULSE IS BEAUTIFUL.

Sneak Peek: Images from Elana Jacob’s “Make Like a Table and Serve” and a glimpse of some of Devin McDermott’s exquisite movement.

Preparing for “SCORE FOR AN UNREHEARSED ENSEMBLE”

The song I ended up singing at Vanessa DeWolf’s scoreLAB—in French, which was so liberating, and so not how I expected to be ending Monday evening. Words and phrases from the “rehearsal” :

AUTONOMY within the GROUP

PLAYING like CHILDREN

“Are you the PHONE COLLECTOR?”

For On the Boards 2012 Northwest New Works Festival : A grand experiment in relational performance. Unrehearsed for enhanced anarchy, Scored for highly structured chaos & play. Deliciously… wickedly uncertain in a landscape of absurdity. Bodies in vibrancy, bursting with oblique stories and hysterics. Oh complexities!? Yes! Costumes? Yes! Wigs? Yes! Lipsticked dozens? Yes! Flashes of cinematic, poetic & photographic reference. A rare relational performance of instantaneous and absolutely unrehearsed composition. A delicious, wicked, uncertainty blended with vibrantly colored absurdity. Live relationships discovered before your very eyes… don’t expect to sit back for this one, ‘cause we are all in this together. See that fellow? He’s the lighting designer and he’s ready for us too, also in that magical territory of the unknown.
