Remember Machine


as director/choreographer, contact improvisation, happening

 

“So many influences, so little time.” —Melinda Buckwalter

This is a series of dances with Hazel Bee Humphrey and me. Emergent and evolving, techniques seem to include the kinds of timing, touch, and togetherness we’ve learned from LIVE practice, contact improvisation, and dramas, both everyday ones and those that drive the epic performances of our favorite divas. The dance we’ve been doing since we were both in Grammie Kim’s belly moves us along. We dance to goof off and show off and shake it off. Then we step into Remember Machine and something else happens. The stakes are higher. We stay “in” even when we’re “out”.
