Rogue Re-incarnated

Click to Play

In March 2009 I made an improvised solo called "Rogue".

It was performed in SWAN DAY last year. That Rogue wore black and wandered the streets.... scoring, surviving and being scorned. A few months later, I wanted to experiment with another aspect of that Rogue. The "white" Rogue explores the more solitary, internal aspect of this character.....alone in her house. Music by Haggai Cohen Milo and Amir Milstein.

Rehearsal video with Emily Beattie, Liz Roncka and Philippe Lejeune. Although this is a rehearsal clip for a live performance, I enjoy it as a video. I prefer art that does not come with a set of instructions. However, I do invite u 2 let go of the notion of the real bodies being the dominant image. Allow ur mind to re-calibrate and notice the reflections as much as the "real bodies". Afterall, what is a reflection? What is reality? what is the difference and does it matter! If u didn't know the difference, would there b any? Come see a live version of this at ArtRages......May 8. More details to come!

Second version of this duet.... a little loose, but loved the extended handstand thanks 2 my chiropractor. Once I realized I could stay, I thought "why come down when i can b upsidedown?"

"creatures" rehearsal warm-up

Movers: Emily Beattie, Ellen Godena, Liz Roncka
Sound: Max Lord


Once again, this is not "creature" movement. BUt.....it is 3 out of 4 of the movers. We were doing a duet warm up score which I then jumped into to create a trio. "Trio-ing" is often quite challenging but this gave me some new ideas. It also invovled "contact" which was not what I was teaching. I do like coming at contact from this angle ....more from a perspective of momentum and movement than weightiness. Although that is essential, I question whether teaching about weight before momentum creates "heavier" dancing. ???? Oh, it is time 4 me 2 teach 2 find the answers 2 these questions. Soooon soooon.... There will b some creature-esque clips posted soon though.
