The PArk
2008
The PArk was made as something to witness. An experience between the audience, choreographer and performer that is not about choreography. It is about what a performer will do when she is given the direction to ‘do what she feels’ and honor that feeling within the parameter of a performance. The performance becomes the parameter and the parameter becomes diluted by the audience making it a performance. Yet the performer still has her story, her desires to share, either from her own ambition as an artist, an entertainer, or because the audience is able to witness a human in utmost vulnerability, which ironically came from the goal of being in the utmost control.

“This is quite the fucking conundrum you gave me,” -Danell to Mike
“It seems it is the dance that can’t be danced,”
-Mike to Danell
“Great, thanks,” -Danell to Mike
“Yes, just don’t fuck it up,” Mike to Danell
So on Tuesday night, I watched the goose pop in a CD of Jim Morrison. He appeared to be slightly confused yet persistent, curious and greedy at the same time. I didn’t even know what was about to happen and I didn’t know who was even feeding her. I was curious myself what she would do, so I sat down to watch.
