This is a course with about 30 dancers and musicians/composers.
Day one resonating thoughts:
- A linear piece of art versus a cyclical piece of art. Linear takes place in time with a beginning and an end. Cyclical happens in a theoretical endless loop, the audience enters and exits but the work keeps going.
- What’s the closest common origin of an idea? The beginning of ideas? In terms of collaboration… not two ideas that already exist and then merging them, or the idea of commissioning a score to choreograph to. How far can the moment of origin be traced back. Both collaborators beginning at the furthest back moment of origin. Origin of ideas.
- How do ideas emerge?
- The core of dance is how it is perceived by the eye. The core of music is how it is perceived by the ear. How do you make something that is perceived by both?
- Improvisation… a planned unplanned event.
