“Dance This Mess Around”
[Improvisation
for Dancers] by
David Appel.
Dance improvisation can be closely ordered, totally unruly,
and
everything in-between.
And there are as many ways of approaching it as there are people
playing and thinking about the
dancing body in this context. Our tack will be to engage some
structures through which we can
develop a greater sensitivity within
ourselves and to each other, garner skills to organize and
shape our dancing from moment to moment
and over time, and foster a more acute awareness of
the space we’re moving in and enlivening. Plus we’ll give a shout-out
to the music of the body in
motion, and to bodies engaging the sound that surrounds us.

FOUNDATION - “Orb.

David Appel (NYC), Mary Foshee (Birmingham), Ann Law
(Chattanooga),
Sycamore (Huntsville). One Hour
Performance. Four
acclaimed veteran dance improvisers
hit the stage
with a probing look at
the intricacies of the body in motion,
and all manner of
carrying on! As this quartet of
dancer/choreographers re-convenes for the first
time since
their dynamic October 2009 premiere performance in Chattanooga,
Birmingham’s audience
will have a rare chance to see them again push the limits of
themselves and their art.
Expect an evening both humorous and thought-provoking, where
individual virtuosities
meet razor-sharp sensibilities
and sly twists on a moment’s notice.
No bad airport food or clogged highway travel required!
