Alembic April 13
Dunyati Alembic Monday 4-13 at the Metropolitan Building.
This ensemble is an amazing development. A gift to me. They know we go somewhere most don’t know how to get to, and they want to be there. ‘Performance’ tests this delicate work; its a kind of psychic weight lifting. Everyone — including me — wants to not bore the audience, wants to give them excitement. We also have a hard time being transparent, letting others in, versus going out to them…
It is interesting for me as the teacher/director to be so insistent about an inner-ness. The dancers are young and magnetized by outer things. I have to keep drawing them back down and in. It will be worth it…
(Next one May 4th.)
Dancers: Anasma, Anita Teresa, Dunya, Jennifer Maeve, Kimio Wheaton, Nisaa Christie
