Transformation

(for QuickTime 4 only)

 

This is the second section of the dance.

These are some of the ideas that led to the making of this section:

When we finally broke away...we were different...
We knew it without looking in the mirror...We went outside...we met our friends....We smiled with our new secret...the light that bounced between all those mirrors, all those images, was now coming out of our eyes...

there are loads of superstitions to do with mirrors and things like if you look in a mirror on a certain day of the year you will see your true love and all other silly things like that

developing a relationship with an image- friendly/antagonistic

When the dancers come out...singlely or in pairs or what seems natural, they should already have an image they are moving to, a secret,...not necesssarily what we usually call "image"...picture, metaphor...but something deeper...a secret feeling of their whole being such as one might experience if they did indeed see their true love in the mirror on a particular day.... But it doesn't have to be that "image/feeling"---it can be anything...they can be an animal---that's a real transformation!  Or here is just another possibility---to bring things around to where they began---what would you get up in the middle of the night for?

Anyway...a deep image...a secret...that they are moving with/to/about/for... And then they try to share it with another of the dancers through their dance...to see if they can communicate it...And there can be a dialogue here--or in other words, one dancer can try to understand by imitating the moves of the one sharing and back and forth...And it can turn into more than two sharing at once...
