Reflections on Dance: On Sincerity (related to Trajal Harrell’s “Quartet for the End of Time”)
http://reflectionsondance.blogspot.com/2008/10/on-sincerity-related-to-trajal-harrells.html
On Sincerity (related to Trajal Harrell’s “Quartet for the End of Time”). Trajal Harrell’s new piece drew me into a quiet (though filled with music) world that often bypassed my thoughts and went straight to feeling. As an audience member, I was challenged in the best of ways. I was trusted to find my own way into the piece. I was given time to find deeper ways to engage repetition, subtlety and presence. I felt safe to find the ways in which my experience and the art could interweave. Time, I don’...

Reflections on Dance: Disfarmer by Dan Hurlin
http://reflectionsondance.blogspot.com/2009/02/disfarmer-by-dan-hurlin.html
Disfarmer by Dan Hurlin. Photo by Pavel Antonov. A man wakes up. He puts on his glasses, pulls out a tape measure and checks the size of his foot. He drinks a beer. Answers the phone. Looks for something to eat. He hits his head on the red lamp in his darkroom. As the evening progresses, the small Disfarmer puppet gets smaller. At first the change is imperceptible but, eventually, he is miniscule. His bed swallows him up. His camera is twice his size. He is nowhere near hitting his head o...I just came a...

Reflections on Dance: Merce Cunningham's Nearly Ninety at BAM
http://reflectionsondance.blogspot.com/2009/04/merce-cunninghams-nearly-ninety-at-bam.html
Merce Cunningham's Nearly Ninety at BAM. A spaceship arrived at BAM tonight. And mysterious godly creatures danced their hearts out, roaring with commitment. Merce Cunningham’s Nearly Ninety. In this piece, dancers wind themselves around one another, looking for all possible ways to share weight. They really touch. And they really counterbalance. Often they are two people, preposterously balanced, completely dependent. John Paul Jones, Takehisa Kosugi, and Sonic Youth play live music from an outer space ...

Reflections on Dance: Jerome Bel, Veronique Doisneau
http://reflectionsondance.blogspot.com/2009/03/jerome-bel-veronique-doisneau.html
Jerome Bel, Veronique Doisneau. A woman stands onstage at the Paris Opera. She talks with a quality that is soft, open, a bit hesitant. A light pink rehearsal sweater, reminiscent of little girl dance tights, frames her 42 year-old woman’s body. Ms Doisneau discusses her life as a ballet dancer, part of that group of women who, although fully adult, are still called mesdemoiselles. She speaks about Giselle. Veronique Doisneau alternates between fact and fully embodied fantasy. The piece, and the woma...

Reflections on Dance: On India
http://reflectionsondance.blogspot.com/2008/12/on-india.html
I planned to see Pina Bausch’s “Bamboo Blues” so I’d have an excuse to write about India; I decided I could miss the performance and simply write about India instead.). I start with a sound. An aching, melancholy call to prayer joined by the scratch scratch of a young man sweeping the sidewalk. It is the sound of religion, and class, and dirt. He tells us he grew up an Untouchable. My husband and I make our way from Mumbai to Delhi. The physical chaos overtakes me now that we are on our own. The ...My bo...

Reflections on Dance: On Garden of Earthly Delights
http://reflectionsondance.blogspot.com/2008/12/on-garden-of-earthly-delights.html
On Garden of Earthly Delights. Photo by Glenn Fawcett. I bring my aesthetic-educator-visual-artist husband to Martha Clarke's Garden of Earthly Delights. Because I want him to tell me about Hieronymus Bosch. I want to hear his perspective on the relationship between Clarke's live work of art and the painting from which she draws inspiration. In going to see this revived (and historic) performance, I look forward to a dialogue about the history of art. Lonely, empty wind. Dead branches. Orgiastic, sensual...
