Dreaming/Preparing/Dancing: 3 Days Until The Anata Project’s Performance at ODC Theater

Dancer: Mallory Markham. Photographer: Claudia Hubiak. (Thank you to meets the eye studios for donating the space and lights for the photoshoot.)

From Blog Director Jill Randall:

Lately, I have been thinking about dance writing and dance publicity. How do we share/invite/entice/preview a work for our potential audience members? Bay Area artist Claudia Hubiak and I are playing with this idea for the 7 days leading up to her show, Point of Dissolve, at the ODC Theater in San Francisco from October 19-21.

On risk, rigor, and vulnerability with the work….dancer Mallory Markham reflects and shares:

Moving in abstraction and reflecting on your own sense of ease, effort, time and space with an almost mathematical sense of precision is a much more vulnerable way of being since it requires a direct relationship to self. It’s easier to be vulnerable with someone else. A human that can relate back to you, giving you feedback as you follow impulse as it leads into movement. Point of Dissolve requires us to see ourselves through a more subjective, internal lens, putting relationship aside in favor of our individual spectrum of effort and ease without sacrificing the intricacies and tactility of the partnering work. The rigor in Point of Dissolve is the commitment to coming back to precision. What does it mean to be precise and what is the physicality of precision? How can we be intentional, precise, and also easy? Does being precise mean we also have to give into physical rigor, or perhaps it’s mostly mental or spacial precision. This piece, while it is less relational than works done in the past, has a more profound sense of self and how each individual’s willingness to be present, to be precise, and to take risks affects the whole.
