Vencl Dance

2. Currently I am developing movement.
I am working slowly, alone,  and in silence, around 10 hours per week.  So far the holding phrases all are metered.  I need about 12 minutes more of raw movement material before involving dancers, which means I am months away from working with them.  At this point I imagine the piece to be between 35 and 40 minutes long.  I am thinking about the relationship between the music and the dance.  In particular I am wondering if elements in the sound score can be derived from an electronic image of video footage.  I want the development of the choreography and the sound score to be linked  not by either the choreographer or the composer, but rather by a process to which both contribute but which has its own rules.      6/20/2010

1. The new dance is begun.
After the June concert I began again to take class daily. I have been in condition since October and now I often feel like going into the studio but so far I am ignoring that…. But I know what happens next. I will stop resisting and one day just find myself going where I have to go to do what I am going to do. This is not a choice….any more than a bowel movement is a choice. It is just an organic function of mine. Other people do not have the problem I notice!       9/2/2009
