INSTALLATION & PERFORMANCE

Before Coming Back into the Light and Music and Dancing: A Study of Alvin Lucier’s Palimpsest Before coming back in… transforms Alvin Lucier’s composition from a palimpsest heard to a palimpsest seen. Remaining as close as possible to the composer’s sound score, itself based on a story “IF AT THE WEDDING (AT THE ZOO)” by Lydia Davis, nine dancers perform the work as an exactingly choreographed writing. Moving quietly from canvas to canvas, one for each stanza of the story, the dancers mark the rhythms and physicality of the writing, while the meanings of the words slowly recede.

Choreography and design: Abigail Levine

based on a musical composition by Alvin Lucier, text by Lydia Davis

Performed by nine dancers during the duration of the work’s exhibition .

Opening reception: Monday, July 7, 5-7PM
On view: Monday July 7 – Sunday July 15

I’LL DANCE, WHILE YOU’RE DANCING, AND WE WILL HAVE DANCED TOGETHER

I’ll Dance While You’re Dancing and We Will Have Danced Together is a dance structure developed by the Movement Party that looks at possibilities of dancing together across distances. Performers in disparate locations respond to their own environments by uploading short video loops to a shared feed. As video accumulates, performers are invited to respond to the contributions of others, tracking the flow of inspiration and the manner in which ideas get taken up, transported, developed, and recycled. …And We Will Have Danced Together has been performed in Amsterdam, Lublin, Cairo, Charlottesville, and New York City. Join us at Preservation Hall for a special Fleet Moves edition and watch as artists connect across the varied terrain of Wellfleet.

ROUNDS

Rounds, created by Zena Bibler, is a dance for Wellfleet’s Long Pond. The result of slowly melting glacial leftovers, Long Pond’s sediments contain clues about the past lives of this well-loved landscape. Viewers may watch from any vantage along the water’s edge. Inverting the tradition of theater “in the round,” dancers move at the periphery of the performance space, attempting to share a dance that travels from one shore to the next.
