about the process

This is a little paragraph on how the work developed...

Each dancer was given a pen and paper, directed to write about central issues or ideas in their lives. From then on, for nearly three months, we created, added, cut, and played with movement derived from these writings. The study developed into a coherent performance piece in which three solos happen at the same time. In the end, the solos appeared to have virtually no common elements yet succeeded in relating and talking to one another.

Info

3 began as an experiment; a study of the distinction between mere execution of movement and performance authored by individuals, as it was Alice’s desire was to escape body virtuosity and meaningless movement. With this piece, Alice received an Award for Outstanding Achievement in Choreography from the University of Washington Dance Program.

Enthusiastic about the support voiced from friends, family and artists, we plan to host a benefit performance in which 3 will be performed along with other works from the surrounding community. Our mission is to fund raise a minimum of $500, which covers application fees and a small portion of travel expenses. We are kindly asking you to offer a contribution towards this project. Any amount will greatly help our cause.
