Thoughts on the spot, thoughts on the go...
Space is full: musicians, dancers, recording equipment, flute, cello, piano. I can't help but note the spatial configurations: dancers on half the space on the floor, musicians in another half (towards a corner), recording equipment in corners but with some degree of mobility. Lefebvre would have something interesting to say about this.
More improvisation, trying to understand behavioral resonance, where the motion and sound coming from the musician affects what is perceived (in this case by the dancers) and how this affects their response to the improvised dialogue. After the first warm up-improvisation it is interesting to note that the dancers speak about the effect of sound in/on their bodies and the musicians speak of the effect of the dancers in 'their' space. The body the common element and also the (its?) difference.
There is much talk about space, not time
We move on to move the musicians (out of those corners), trying to establish a more open dialogue in space, not just through space. Dancers take 'time' coming in and out of dialogue with the musician.
From open improvisation to matters of structure, we begin to confront pre-existing dance material with the various musical/sound fragments/sets that Kiriakos has composed for today... It gets quite elaborate as the variables that can come into 'dialogue' with each other are suddenly 'exponientially' multiple
Arriving at complexity: dancers begin by listening into the silence, then begin to move, then musicians listen to dancers, then dancers listen to dancers whilst listening to musicians who are listening to dancers listening to dancers who are listening to musicians...
silence is always a probability...
