My intention for this choreographic project is to create a contact improvisation duet with my dance parnter Brian Buck. The piece at this point begins with a diaologue of the two of us, Brian dressed up as a little girl and me in a business casual outfit playing 20 questions. Ending the game with Brian yelling "It's chicken McNuggets." We then slowly tranform into wolves, once we touch the ground we take off running and the bulk of the physical piece begins. Running, connecting, fighting, playing drinking dive into our primal selves and use contact improvisation as a shared language. We will rehearse once a week on Wed for 3 hours in my Purcellville Gym, where I teach yoga and pilates.
I intend the piece to be about 15-20 minutes long, and it will include video footage of wolves from Misson Wolf in Colorado, where I'm going to see my wolf Daisy in Oct. For the music I'm thinking about maybe haivng my musican fiddler friend and drummer friend play as well as wolves howling on tape.
We will perform once or twice in an afternoon at Glen Echo Park in Maryland on a Sat or Sunday afternoon, somewhere in the park outside.
I'm also toying wtih the idea of performing it at dog shelter fund raising event out here in Western Loudoun Cty. My limitations are going to be the musicians schedules.
