CLUBBING

CLUBBING

In Clubbing the gap between music and dance collapses as the entire space becomes an instrument and all movement is compositional. In one way, Clubbing is simply an invitation to listen to movement, but it is far more than a formal experiment. Small gestures and tiny sounds accumulate over time to make a powerful and exquisitely tense environment. Violence constantly threatens to erupt as six women create a world together using wooden clubs, percussion, cello and live sound effects. Sounds and activities are layered on top of each other: speech becomes music, notes become language, weapons become instruments. Seemingly abstract systems fall into each other to create an unstable but beautiful ritual. We come to realize that we are witnessing an organism at work, as predictable and chaotic as the human body itself.
