distribute pleasure
today i stumbled on martin spanberg and tor lindstrand's international festival website. my mind is blowing. humbled at the same time enthusiastically inspired, i see an endless possibilities of performance. creating performance/performing situations, dances, choreography in spaces where there are none. what are these spaces? spaces in the body, at home watching television, in the kitchen, eating, riding the taxi cab, walking in the park, going to the market, waiting in line, endless...endless. creating and making dances in the everyday, outside and beyond the theater. i have realized how the canvass for creating dances/choreography, action and dramaturgy beyond the surface of the body into objects and beyond the theater and physical space into our psyches, emotions, habits and feelings. involving the audience and challenging the spectator's relationship with the artist, the dancer onstage. reversing the roles, changing hats and manipulating the sociology of a "performance event"
choreography is producing pleasures that can be taken home...
utterances that sometimes turn into sentences or
utterances that remain nothing but utterances...
packages, objects that intervene and propose new ways of moving, challenging the hierarchy and authorship of a choreographic material. i think i myself am turning into captain ahab, bwahaha!!!
let's do a road show and distribute pleasure!
