RED dance project with Jessica Dessner with ELLLL
Space for the Liberty Muse
The framework for SPACE FOR THE LIBERTY MUSE is methodical and formulaic. Jessica Dessner will create four, 30 minute dance structures incorporating a combination of set and improvised movement.
Each dance will correspond to a primary color: RED, BLUE, YELLOW, and then a fourth dance, for BLACK and WHITE.
For each section, there will be a lead dancer who will perform approximately ten minutes of set choreography, while the other dancers wait at the edge of the performance area. After the initial choreography has been performed, the additional performers will be free to join the space to improvise for the rest of the ‘set’. Costumes and lighting will reflect the respective color of each section of the project.
The music for the project will mirror the structure of the dance: each piece will feature ten minutes of composed music followed by a period of improvisation with the dancers. The music will be written and performed by composers and musicians attending the festival.
