Rehearsal Six

We worked with audio recordings of some of the stories for the first time this rehearsal!

Still creating new material...
Still have only a faint semblance of a structure...

One person submitted a story online that began with a quote from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: "The single story creates STEREOTYPES & the problem with STEREOTYPES isn't that they're UNTRUE but that they're INCOMPLETE. They make one story become the ONLY story."


This submission struck me because it posed a question in response to my question. How can one story be the story of a persons life? Of course, it can't... So I am grateful for this submission and I want to use it as an opener or a kind of frame for the piece. The video below is some choreography for that quote.


I also taught my dancers some choreography to the beginning of another story that moved me:



And we practiced the movement we already had to some actual audio recordings:
