Unwrapping d a n s e
November 25, 2014 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
$10 – $15A performed dance lecture by Rosalind Crisp (Australian premiere)
“… Beyond analogy, Crisp’s movement is astonishing in its sheer otherness, …the standard syntax of dance is erased. It’s magical….”
– Keith Gallasch RealTime
Performer: Rosalind Crisp
Video by: Eric Pellet/Le Fresnoy
a partial lecture about a partial history
an unfinished d a n s e by a saturated body
an ongoing practice… exposed
What holds up when the wrapping is gone? Is there a leg to stand on once the spectacle is bumped out? What was there anyway, before it got stitched up?
In a performed-danced-discussion Rosalind Crisp dances and talks about what she is doing, exposing aspects of her continually evolving project, d an s e, and how her practice is sustained and transformed over time.
Background
d a n s e is a modality of work that Rosalind Crisp has been developing between Australia and France since 2005. It is about a way of working with the body and an ensemble of unstable principles which guide the production of movement. These principles are continually transforming, constituting a language that is both rigorously identifiable and constantly mutating.
The community of Ausdance WA acknowledges the Traditional Owners of all Lands and Countries on this continent. We pay particular respect to Elders, Cultural and Community Leaders, and emerging leaders. With this understanding of the country’s First Peoples, we are grateful for our place in learning and serving dance, Arts and Culture in Western Australia.
Always Was. Always Will Be.
