Hysteresis
"...exhilarating, funny, challenging, complex, beautiful. Un-conventional
and experimental, just the way modern dance should be." - Yelp
"Unfettered from the sense that there was something "to get," the viewer's
mind was free to drift among associations, the dancers evoking now a flock
of birds, now an ocean current, now a windstorm gathering force." - Bonner
Odell, IN DANCE
DOUBLE VISION will present the world premiere of Hysteresis, an
evening-length dance showcasing choreography by Pauline Jennings, sound
and video by Sean Clute, lighting and set design by Ben Coolik and costume
design by Andrea Campbell. Hysteresis features virtuosic and poly-rhythmic
movement patterns, contrapuntal groupings and moments of live-triggered
responses. Free from traditional structures and narratives, the dance
evokes an abstract dreamscape rich in complex shapes, relationships and
points of meditation for the audience.
Hysteresis was informed by a residency in Vienna, Austria, at the
Museumsquartier. The work is a metaphor for the state of being alien or
observing that which is alien to oneself. The audience is presented with
unknown customs, languages, and symbols through abstraction of image and
sound. As the observer experiences what is at first deemed noise, clear
relationships and patterns begin to emerge and understanding can occur.
Noise gives way to an idea and the idea leads to a certain comfort in this
incessantly uncertain world.
Performances by Blaine Bookey, Emily Gorman, Wendy Marinaccio, Jennifer
Mellor and Cecelia Peterson.
Hysteresis was made possible through generous private donations,
CounterPULSE's fiscal sponsor program, The Garage's RAW Program and grants
from the Zellerbach Family Foundation and William and Flora Hewlett
Foundation.
There will be a post-show reception following the April 9 [Fri]
performance.
