Astrolabe
Performance, 20 minutes (Choreography for five, Vocal Score/Performance) and Sound
Two pairs of dancers perform orbital, intersecting duets. The choreography for each duet occupies a unique cadence and movement vocabulary. Both pairs rotate around a meandering vocalist who describes people he has passed in the same neighborhood at another time. Eleven solo dancers walk in geometric lines, and circulate in and out at a regular cadence. Atmospheric sound creates moments of swell and dissipation.
