Why were we in the dark?
The question is not, “Why did Josiah give his presentation in the dark?” The question is, “What happened when we were sitting in the (almost) dark?” What was it like to sit in the dark and listen to a presentation, or to ask and answer questions in the dark? What did it feel like, and where did those feelings come from? By “feelings”, I hope to evoke all possible meanings, so, physical and emotional feelings as well as thoughts, attitudes, or associations. How was it different from Laura’s part of the class, and why? What happened in the dark, and what didn’t happen? It was the first time in this class that we have been in the space together without being able to see each other clearly. Why is that not common?
-Perform or nothing else is disregarded as an overarching theme in context of choreography
ReplyDelete-dance and performance are live art disciplines and provide space to explore resistance as experimental performance
-five singularities: thingness, darkness, animality, persistence, and solidity
-Human as an animal that is not quite an animal, forever stirring to find its lost (natural) grace--through endless efforts of discipline <<<< I do not understand this quote too much and hope to find something clarity in the discussion
-Dance, as a discipline, has fully participated in the drive to announce Man to himself.
-performance broadly refers to performances of the self
-Why does dance hold such possibility for transformative performances of self and reality?
