This is me (on the right), Lyndsay Spencer behind me and Anne Marie Scott on the left. Performing a piece called Held in Grace” outside of the Sid Williams Plaza on May 5th for Elevate the Arts festival. We had a loose score ( concept) for what we were doing and then practiced it several times (maybe 7 times) then performed it. We played with holding shapes and being creatively inspired by one another’s movements in order to make new shapes. We also played with the white veils.. moving them freely in an “ecstatic way” and then in a synchronized trio. We don’t choreograph the piece but do have an idea of how the piece will go and musical cues will dictate when we shift to a new movement idea. We are all improvisers (AKA free dancers) so chose not to have set choreography .
