PILLOW FIGHT
We had our first rehearsal this evening and had a blast! We are really excited about this new project. To get a small glimpse of our process and what it is like 'behind the scenes' check out this video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqLoAfIHW68.
It was too big of a file to post here.
Every section of this new work will revolve around an object; tonight's object was a pillow... we took 5 pillows to rehearsal. Add four amazing women and this turned into a pillow fight. We really loved their extreme physicality once the choreography was in their bones.

For us, each time we see the section in progress, it reveals more of what is needed. Laying down one simple layer at a time can be a strange process. Trying to watch as a viewer, not as a choreographer, we can sometimes get the sense of a blank space. We see in our minds what is missing; we see in our heads a detail that isn't there but SHOULD be... There is something very alchemical and mysterious about it.
We finished about 1:35 minutes of choreography today. Here is a clip of the quartet. It was the first thing we started with but ended up being the last section we tagged onto today's chunk.
Be sure to check us out on Facebook AND Twitter - we'd love LOTS of fans!!!
