I want to capture the dancers’ movements as imprints on a prepared surface. It is about embracing the unpredictability and spontaneity which will happen, allowing the dancers’ movements to guide the creation of a unique and expressive work, made on the floor as the surface. This surface is where the dancers move, becomes the canvas. I think about footprints/marks left on the surface. My first idea was to use large sheets of paper pasted to the floor – in black and white and ask the to step into chalk/charcoal before moving across the dance area. This could be too intruding; so I also thought of having chalk directly on the floor surface where they perform; marks will be left behind as they move. It is temporary – but a type of recording which can be photographed as a document of the movements. To me this also talks about the energy and direction of the dance The work will then talk about the ephemeral quality. One can bring these sheets back over time (each day for the 5 days of training) and reflect on the complexity of learning to dance in a group.
