Inhabitance VI
Inhabitance VI explores MemoryDance's potential as a performative practice. Via verbal cues feeding through ear pieces, the dancers' attentions connect to a memory of a specific location they have experienced in their past. In stillness, their minds actively re-examine sensations from their remembered places. Slowly, the smallest, subtlest gestures arises, full of honesty, conviction and experience.
I was enthralled, and was curious to test the uninitiated audience's response. "An antidote to the chaos of life" was one comment that will always stay with me.
