Fly on the wall

in the theater at the university of michigan today. the remix for five of inflatable man, evaporating woman went up under lights.  always such a great moment to see it all come to life in the space. its such an intriguing variation on the work.  so many elements that we journeyed through in this spacious duet world; we’ve now layered them and they co-exist, still in this world of slow molasses and sparseness, but things happen simultaneously and you can scan through the space and the world and take things in side by side.  it gives the piece a whole new life.  syntax makes such a difference.  i can hardly imagine putting a piece up and not looking at it again and again from so many different perspectives.  i feel so lucky to have the opportunity to do that and so committed to the value of letting things sit with time and not hesitating to allow something to continue to grow and change and shift.  its live performance after all, such a big part of what i love about the field…
