Fly on the wall

Last week Lindsey and I returned to Ann Arbor to finalize a version of Inflatable Man, Evaporating Woman on 5 students for Ann Arbor Dance Works.  We took the same approach in making this excerpt as we did the duet excerpt for DanceNow.  We examine the content of the piece and extract ideas that we feel will lend itself to the new format, considering where it will be seen, the venue, who is the audience and how many other works (ideas) will it be seen with in the same evening among other points of consideration.  Rather then pick a particular 10 minute moment from the first formal presentation of the work at Danspace Project, Lins and I looked to our process materials and the works many iterations and built a piece that was most appropriate given the criteria we were considering above.  We both refer to it, as Lindsey titled her last post, a remix like they do with music.
