Floating Point Waves: Blog

We set up the pool and string sculptures at CAVE in August 2009. Made three performances, each with a different musician. The first show was over an hour long, Jeremy Slater made the music for it. The second day the music was done by Roland Toledo and the third day it was just the sound of the water. We were four dancers Irem Calikusu, Stephanie Lanckton, Denisa Musilova and myself. Shige worked on the video and also together we tried to make use of the few light instruments at CAVE. After months thinking about what happened in August, we decided to do the January 2010 Culturemart show with only me as a dancer... It is a hard decision ... in my mind I can make two versions of this piece: one with one dancer and one with four. However, for HERE's the one dancer version might be more suitable, there are so many elements in the space and it might be just too much. The dancers gave lots of material to me. I took a lot to build up the solo for January 2010. I am writing this post too long after the fact, but since we have this new blog I wanted to a least enter the main questions we have had during the creations of Floating Point Waves.

In this video you can see the piece with the four dancers. Feel free to comment and specially if you had the chance to see the different versions of the live performances.
