Locate brace section 2 rehearsal

Clip from rehearsal for Locate brace section II 2005. In this piece we worked with 35 people to create one mass without any negative space. The performers were not all dancers and it was a joy to go through the process with them as they discovered how other bodies and shapes could fit into their own if they left themselves open in certain ways. We asked them to create a mass and then shift closer to create yet smaller tighter mass. When performed, they were all dressed in white and cream and the lighting was so dim that individual bodies were indiscernible at the moment they overlapped in the space. It read like a solo.
