Locate brace Section 3





Locate brace section III 2005. Danced by Alexis Iammario, Lindsay Stegeman, Naomi Chamblin, and Erin Reid. This is the dance section to an evening length event created by Alexis and Lindsay. In this piece we worked with pairs: one and one and two and two. Throughout the process of creating this piece we investigated Authorship. To what degree could we separate the author/generator of highly nuanced movement from its final stylized form in performance. We created phrase work respectively, which we gave over to one another to set on the other two dancers. In the process of teaching the material to new bodies it was re-created/stylized but maintained the original structure. By blending the ownership of the material between eachother and the dancers as new bodies, we found new and more dynamic choreography.
