Dear MAPP students,

 

I would like to start a conversation around choreographic languages.  To start us off I have posted here some links to works that might span some notions of what constitutes dance.  We could direct our focus on languages from a number of points of view.  Please do have a look and share your thoughts. You can also offer your own links to widen the debate (as one arises):

    The question Hatain Patel presents "what makes us who we are culturally and socially" really resonates with me. I am curious about these ideas as well and would love to hear more about how he obtain his research and used it in his final presentation. I believe this speaks to a real passion I have with choreography. As I reflect on my choreography, thoses that I notice a real disengagement in work that is just technical beauty or feats. Bringing honesty and truth to the stage can be very fulfilling to myself and an audience.

    William Forsthye's piece is a wonderful human engagement with the space piece. It is something the participants will remember for they have the physical manifestation of the space that will be in their body and minds.

    Freddie Opoku-Addaie's work Show of Hands sounds like a wonderful, intrigung idea for a piece though personally I felt I needed to see more of the piece to clarify the work for me.

    Mette Evardsen developed a piece of performance art that is thought provoking. It inspired me to contemplate how much we take for granted. All the bounty that we simply pass by daily.
