<br />
Slowly making the transition to Wordpress.<br />
<br />
It seems slightly more usable and intricate at the same time.<br />
<br />
The photos also display better.<br />

<div>
These scores indicate that you are a progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a political centrist. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, an idealist with many strong opinions.</div>
<div>

<div>
This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.</div>

Unlike many other political tests found on the Internet which base themselves on untested (and usually ideologically motivated) ideas, this inventory is adapted from Hans Eysenck's own political inventory which was developed after extensive empirical investigations in the 20th Century.</div>

In order to maximize your time/experience/cost ratio I urge you to authorize a frame that makes this experience the most brilliant cutting edge piece that you have ever seen. This piece is so brilliant in fact that every piece you see afterwards will pale in comparison and will be seen as a mere reference to this current piece.<br />
<br />
If however, you are not able to create such a frame, then are you really the author of your own experience? What would need to change in this piece to facilitate your authorship of a brilliant piece? Are the elements present inadequate, or is your skill as an author of your experience inadequate? Wherein lies the responsibility? Is it a 50/50 relationship?<br />
<br />
If you are not able to create a brilliant piece with the elements I am presenting to you, can we really say that the audience is the author?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05011493116427816409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868478306469974775.post-58367649410639020322013-06-10T13:24:00.002-07:002013-06-10T13:24:36.905-07:00June 10, 2013<div style="text-align: center;">

An Kaler<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
24.2.2013 <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Studio 5 Uferstudios,
Berlin<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A little Q & A - <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why were there the evenly space strings attached to the
floor upstage and the ceiling downstage?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>To create an upward trajectory from upstage to downstage for the eye,
maybe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The angle of the strings relative
to the front of the stage also creates a sense of movement.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why to horizontal fluorescent tubes upstage?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe to emphasis low upstage horizontality,
a strong theme in the piece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A Flavin
reference, maybe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or are fluorescent
tubes are just the current electromagnetic trend?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why wear pants that are the same color and tone as the
floor?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An attempt to make the legs blend
in with the floor to negate verticality, perhaps.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
***<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The idea of this piece and the concept of the series – to
explore “different notions of orientation” is one I enjoy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have often wondered about dance terminology
(at least in English) in relation to the human form in space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The term <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">floor
work</i>, for example.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Floor work tends
to be when the body is not vertical and the pelvis is close to or on the
floor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But unless the dancer is
levitating all dancing is floor work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Except for jumping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it’s
impossible to jump and land without the floor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So maybe everything is floor work except for what happens in the air.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I also appreciate that the performer never came to
standing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What percentage of dances
consist of vertical or mostly vertical dancers?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>90%? 95%?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Probably more. What I
found disappointing was the lack of interrogation of what the body can do in a
primarily horizontal position.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
didn’t explore the body itself and how it moves through its kinesphere and
through space enough to challenge the idea of verticality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe this is what the phrase in the program
“…conceiving of stillness as motion/emotion.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>was referring to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But then, here
again, the performer wasn’t still enough long enough to generate an emotion in
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Attempting something that is
normally seen vertically in the horizontal plane would have more strongly
challenge the normative spatial orientation of verticality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This, though, might come across as too
“compare and contrast” and not poetic/artistic enough.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One statement in the program I am curious about - “Linking
spatiality with temporality <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">On Orientations
| one place after</i>…” This piece can’t link two things that are already
linked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Space and time are inexorably
linked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe that statement is meant to
indicate a problematizing of the space-time relationship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This I did not see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The stretches of stillness and the low
verticality might have been Kaler’s attempt to question the space-time
relationship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since space and time are
linked, questioning one means the other is being questioned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the stretches of stillness in the Berlin dance
scene are standard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unlinking space and
time would be something to see!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Granted it has been almost a year since I saw Kaler’s trio
at Uferstudios last summer (LINK) and a while since I saw this solo, but I
think both pieces have a very similar spatial trajectory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both pieces started downstage left, curved
upstage to stage right, came downstage, back upstage and then moved towards
center stage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is this an intentional
choreographic decision to create a spatial theme for several pieces?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is this a somatic spatial response to
performing front of an audience?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
prefer the former to the latter. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
didn’t see the third piece in the series so didn’t get that data to help me
understand Kaler’s spatial proclivities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I wish I had been able to see it.</div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
April 28th 2013 at Sophiensaele</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
“Picture the ballroom
dance of the future. Imagine this dance
and its consequences are the result of an intense physical dialogue between
dancers – an interaction of distinct group decisions in which all react to the
impulses of the others and have to find answers in a split second. Now imagine this dance was a political
practice.” - from the program<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I saw another piece by Frédéric Gies several years ago and I
had the same problem with this one as I did that one. He adds too many other elements to the stage
space that the physical actions lose value or I can’t tell what he values about
them. The last performance had
explicitly stated BMC exercises paired with music by Madonna and a large rug
like object hanging from the ceiling upstage.
I don’t have or remember the program notes from that piece, so I can’t
say what Gies’ goal was in juxtaposing those elements together.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With this piece, he wants us to picture the ballroom dance
of the future. The dance we see is a
group tuning score about decision making and reacting to others, i.e.
improvising. By asking us to view a type
of event that is very much of the present (group improvisation) as the ballroom
dance of the future, is he saying that in the future scored group improvisation
will be a rigid codified form of dance.
Looking at another form of group decision making and reacting, the
contact improvisation jam, we are well on our way. Contact Improvisation is all but a codified
social dance with defined movements and roles.
But Gies and company were not engaging in contact improvisation, at
least not in the normative sense of contact improvisation. But as they were improvising and coming in
and out of contact, the performers in <i>Seven
Thirty In Tights</i> could be viewed as engaging in contact improvisation. After all who determines the tools used in a
performance – the doers or the viewers?!!?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For me this piece suffered from a flat ontology. All elements had equal value. The physicality didn’t change that much
through out the 60 minute plus. The
dancers came in and out of manual contact, dancing alone or facing each
other. There was some change in tempo,
initiated mostly by the female all dressed in red. Well, maybe the elements didn’t have equal
value, but I felt that there was so much sensorial noise generated by all the
non-dance considerations of the piece, that I couldn’t help but be preoccupied
by wondering about the reasons for those elements, thus lowering for the
valorization of the corporeal elements.
I tried to enjoy the physical actions of the performers (and there were
some well trained people performing whom I have enjoyed watching in other
performances) but I couldn’t get past the neon lights, the costumes, the tape
on the floor, and the program notes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The physical practice in the piece was not of the future, so
maybe the tights, the lights and the tape indicating the 4<sup>th</sup> wall
are elements from the future. But
colored fluorescent tubes (a possible Flavin reference?), non-proscenium stage
spaces and tights are also not of the future.
So is it then the combination of group real time spontaneous composition
with the, lighting, costuming, and staging that create the ballroom dance of
the future? Or is it up to us, the
viewers who have read the program to picture the dance of the future, inspired
by the elements presented? (Representation, once again rears its ugly head!)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another element of the program statement that lowered the
valorization of the corporeal elements of the performance was the directive to
imagine the dance as a political practice.
I felt that in order to do that more fully and in the direction that the
choreographer intended I should have attended the lecture by Sylvie Tissot that
took the day before I attended the performance.
Was this piece a political practice because it was more improvised than
choreographed? Was this piece a
political practice because the individuals were able to make their own
decisions within a larger set of considerations? Political because tax dollars are supporting
the work? Who determines the politics –
the doers or the viewers?<o:p></o:p></div>

solo body and group, but the staging and sartorial choices were too
aesthetically noisy overwhelming the dancing itself. The program notes were too generic and could
be applied to any dance, performance, or sporting event for than matter. Maybe instead of generic, I should say open. But for me the program notes/framing/contextualization
were way too open. Isn’t part of the
artist’s job to focus our attention?<o:p></o:p></div>

granted, it could be said that we are looking at apples and oranges as one performance has audience on three sides, live music, and video. But I would say that these two performances are more alike than they are different. I am most interested in the spacing, placing, and pacing of the kinespheres and how they differ in the two pieces.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05011493116427816409noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868478306469974775.post-17507139403187171082013-03-10T15:56:00.000-07:002013-03-16T09:19:02.729-07:00A Few Thoughts on<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<div class="MsoNormal">
All that aside – The energies of the performers were quite
different. She approached the process of
following a video of him following a video of <i>Trio A</i> danced by Rainer with much a much more task-oriented
energy. When I watched him I felt that
he was performing personality more than following the process. His energy was flying out to the audience
instead of being channeled into the attempt to following the choreography.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But it is almost irrelevant, in my opinion, that the
choreography from <i>Trio A</i> was used. Any choreography would suffice. As
someone who is interested in the spectrum of deliberation in relation to
choreography and improvisation and how a dancer responds to visual input, I am
more interested in the process of instantaneous recreation than what the
material is that is being recreated than the fact that <i>Trio A</i> was used. The choreographer was asked to make a new work in relation to an historical piece and she chose <i>Trio A</i>. Not a bad choice, I say, being a fan of the piece. Also using such an iconic piece as a reference gives instant gravitas to this piece.<br />
<br />
I
am more interested in watching the body/mind of the dancer puzzle out the
pathways in the moment, giving it the old college try and not commenting on it
during it. For this reason, for me Lito
was more engaging, and truer to the spirit of <i>Trio A,</i> than Felix.<br />

<br />
<div class="p1">
Well…how to begin?</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
During the last performance I saw at HAU 1, <i>Les Petites Morts - i hope you die soon</i>, I was inspired to write glib and non-glib responses to what I was seeing.<i> </i>After writing them up and other thoughts about the work, I re-read it and read it to my wife. She asked my why I wanted to write what I did. I could have spent the time writing a grant. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
After going through the personal cathartic reasons, I articulated that I wrote it to practice articulating my responses articulately to other artists' work. Apart from personal articulation practice, I believe that more dance/movement/performance artists should be publicly articulating their responses to each other's work. Maybe many are and I just don't know the URLs.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
When I still lived in the Bay Area in California, I was speaking with a friend about a mutual aquaintance and the difficulty she was having writing reviews. My friend thought that because she, the mutual aquaintance, was also a dancer that she shouldn't be writing reviews. Why not? Should opinions about work be reserved only for <i>impartial</i> non dancers? Why shouldn't we all be talking about the work? I think this deference to outside opinions is dangerous. I am not saying that non-makers should not have opinions about dance and performance, but they shouldn't have the last word.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
So, back to <i>Les Petites Morts - i hope you die soon. </i> What did I think of it? The performers, Angela Schubot and Jared Gardinger, were very invested and engaged in their piece. I really enjoyed the beginning. It was a nice take on the typical contemporary dance beginning. Instead of standing there and letting us see them and see that they are seeing us, they were laying down. The small subtle movements, seemingly random, that resolved into symetrical and held (pre-determined?) shapes. It allowed for the first step of blurrig the corporeal boundaries - moments of wondering whose limb was whose. Hardly a new device, but enjoyable, nonetheless. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The breathing that kicked in about 20 minutes into the piece at first made me very conscious of my own breath, but quickly became comical. They sustained the breathing for too long and coupled with the exaggerated looks on their face, reminded me of zombies in a B movie. Yes, I understood the representation of blurring boundaries between bodies and dissolving the self with the breathing - what I exhale you inhale and vice versa. But they didn't offer me any other opinion or extend the metaphor in a new way. I can think of other more interesting ways of de-bordering bodies - </div>
<div class="p1">
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_bacteriotherapy">fecal transplants</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_transplantation">organ transplants</a>, blood donations or attempting to become <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110217195842AACSE1c">Siamese twins</a>?</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
My reaction to this piece could also be my aversion to the topic itself. Death and dying are much too grand, ubiquitos, (dare I say old-fashioned or classical?!?), and serious to deal with seriously. I prefer Woody Allen's movie <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_and_Death"><span class="s1"><i>Love and Death</i></span></a><span class="s2"> </span>for these topics. This might be kind of morbid but I could not get invested in a piece about death and dying knowing that there was no chance of an actual death. This is also related to my issue with theater as <a href="http://wasswasswasswass.blogspot.de/2012/03/allusionillusion.html">opposed to dance</a>.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
It's all pretend.</div>

Contact Improvisation, some people maintain, is more than just a physical practice. It is a political movement, a way of life, a way to interact with our fellow humans and the world. Some might even go as far as to say CI is a social modality that can change the world.<br />
<br />
Contact Improvisation was not created in a vacuum. It arose in the United States during a time of great flux and change. It was a time of great social and political upheaval. Therefore, the environment in which CI arose is inherent in the form.<br />
<br />
If CI is a political/social/gender/economic etc. movement then to truly understand CI one has to come from the same soil that birthed CI.<br />
<br />
Therefore, I postulate, only Americans who were born in the '70s or later are fully capable of understanding CI.<br />
<br />
Therefore, I postulate, only we, denizens of the United States of America, are able to fully understand what true self determination in the moment is and how to manifest it corporeally.<br />
<br />
(it could also be that all the concomitant -isms that people attribute to the physical form of CI have nothing to with it, that it is purely the physical practice and form. Yes, CI can be a tool for creating those -isms, but it is <i>not</i> those -isms. A hammer can be used to build a house, but it is not a house.)<br />

in an elementary school theater?<br />
a high school theater?<br />
a college theater? <br />
the art gallery next to the black box theater at the college? <br />
at a theater at a university, a university without a dance major? <br />
in the theater of a university? <br />
in the theater of a PAC 10 university? <br />
in the foyer of that theater?<br />
in the bathroom off the foyer of the theater of the PAC 10 university that doesn't have a dance major? <br />
in a bus stop near that university?<br />
the bathroom at that bus stop?<br />
the bus that just left the bus stop?<br />
the bathroom on that bus?<br />
the Wendy's that bus stops at 3 hours later?<br />
in the parking lot of the gas station?<br />
next to pump number 3?<br />
next to pump number 7 that Henry in a red and green plaid shirt is using to fill his Toyota Tundra's tank?<br />
<br />
OK, forget all that. Let's go back to a traditional performance space.<br />
<br />
A sprung bamboo floor on a 15x10 meter rectangle of concrete with radiant heating. The concrete is 20 cm thick. Surrounding the dance floor is gravel. This floor is in a room that has 5 other such floors and each one is surrounded similarly by gravel. This room has windows on the north and south sides and has an arched roof. The walls are white; the gravel grey; the ceiling silver. The east and west sides have brown sliding door 4 meters long and 2 meters tall. Each door has a cement landing and benches.<br />
<br />
Maybe this isn't a traditional performance space, but my dream studio.<br />
<br />
OK, back to this piece...hmm...how about this - We, in the performance world, shall never make a new piece ever again, but agree upon 1 piece that we will all repeat in different contexts. Never again will we have to worry about <i>what</i> we will do. The only question is <i>where</i> we will do it.<br />
<br />
P.S.<br />
There are an infinite number of contexts (as there are pieces).<br />
I rather make the pieces than the contexts.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05011493116427816409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868478306469974775.post-35120558472498651912012-12-03T14:01:00.000-08:002012-12-03T14:01:29.139-08:00More definitionsDance is the theater of the object.<br />
