Tracey Norman : actuality of doing
Tracey Norman (choreographer)
Jesse Dell, Sky Fairchild-Waller (interpreters)
Beginning:
Began with a whole dance inspired by an intellectual concept: “mapping” and “cartography”
and a relational concept “how we find our way and how we get lost”
The first sections had implied meaning
Text in the middle made the relationship between the people concrete.
Challenges:
To decide, beyond the concepts, what the dance is actually about, see the whole country and find out what the narrative really is
To see what the action tells/convey
To determine what information has to be added
Recognizing Duration
To decide how long something really needs to be?
Development/skills:
Embodying an intellectual concept
Understanding the whole world and knowing what information to make visible when
Say what you’re doing, do it, don’t repeat it (relates to duration).
Knowing when enough research has been done to start crafting.
