talking walls that sing

Working on These Walls Sing is for lack of a better word, surprising. I'm learning quickly how little I know about music and "built space." My perspective on everything (just about) is from within the moving/still body - and my solo work is designed to structure that experience, hopefully bringing others into it on their own terms.

These Walls Sing has not yet been about those things (but wait! the project is still young). What we as a group have discovered is that we are not quite yet on the same page as to what we're trying to create. Even among artists on the same project, clarity of idea and its description is difficult and essential.

But, as we laughed about at last week's meeting, if any of us wanted to work out our ideas in the written word, we wouldn't need to be making them into a performance. And some ideas simply do not translate, which is why we DO NEED to create in the medium of the idea/concept/inspiration.

Upcoming Performances

The slinkys have landed!

Landing performs its debut on Saturday, May 2nd @ 8pm as part of the Green Space Blooms Festival. David will be performing along with three of our talented guest dancers, Lydia Bell, Christie Newman, and Angela Salvetti.

Green Space Blooms is an annual festival of contemporary dance (most of it from local companies and choreographers) produced by Valerie Green/Dance Entropy at the company's studio Green Space. Festival details and advance tickets are available here.

Green Space is at 37-24 24th Street in LIC, and you can get directions here.

We will be performing Landing again on June 5 at 8pm as part of the Queens Academy of Arts and Dance ([QuAAD]) Marathon at Queens Theatre in the Park (oi, that's a mouthful), so mark your calendars and keep an eye out for details next month.

And then on June 20 at 4pm, on the other side of the glass plate, she wore nothing takes over Socrates Sculpture Park. It will be a whole new experience from our previous showings of other side, so don't miss it!
