another dance ​
​
​
another dance is an open score memoir of my time spent collaborating with dance group Eleven Farrer House's project Chalk.Body.Barrow. and is a reflection on how both sound and movement pivot between similar worlds. What is particularly interesting to highlight for another dance, is the sounds I used for Chalk.Body.Barrow. were taken from recorded samples of my previously performed open scores, which are in turn based on memoirs of collaborating with dancers. In essence, another dance can be described as a feedback loop: a more accurate title would perhaps be another dance within another dance, within another dance.
