In this project, we have explored poetry as a starting point for dance and musical interpretation, in the reverberation of the so-called New York school's experimental scores in the 1950s and 60s; open form scores. The expanded performer’s role in the intersection of interpreting and creating, has been at the center of the exploration in the encounter between dancer and musician.
The project has consisted of a two-day workshop with an introduction to historical context and methods, as well as an independent interpretation process where students have worked with a self-chosen poetic material as a starting point. The project ends with showings at KHIO and NMH.
