Description of Proposed Performance for Bayer Earthworks Celebration
Live Contemporary Dance Performance
Choreography by Alex Martin
Accompanied by Live Music (traditional percussion and found instruments)
Music by Mike Bayer
Two performances to be held on Saturday, September 8, 2007
■ A celebration of the beautiful design and simple forms of the Earthworks, through
movement phrases and spatial patterns that draw the eye into the ground and into
the relationship between earth, water, and sky ---
■ Simple images reflecting a basic human narrative: shelter - storm - flood -
rebuilding
■ While following the performance, audience members will be guided through the land
to create a journey in space as well as in time
■ As with all of my works, a keen attention to movement detail and technique in
performance will dovetail with a sense of purpose and a sense of play
■ The performers will enact a fully engaged interaction with the physical environment—
borrowing at times the attitude of parkour(free running) outdoor sport techniques
■ Live music (percussion) will underscore the rhythms of the work
• Audience members, in addition to visiting, viewing, and hearing the work, will be lead
into their own gentle interaction with the landscape and the materials and
instruments of the performance
■ Audience members will be invited to contribute to the performance
