SEQUENCE UNCOVER
13.02.2014

The performance takes place in a studio.
When the audience enters all the dancers are already in the space working on their score.
The audience is seated in a circle.

PART ONE

Two are reading the text of Yoko Ono. (http://www.idocde.net/idocs/1031). They listen to each others reading. Sometimes, just one reads, sometimes both are reading together.

Score
- You are by yourself. Through shifting your weight you travel through space by catching your weight. Choose your tempos and distance of your falling, walking, running.
- Your senses are like a camera. They zoom in and out. They zoom in and out o your own body, the ohers, the space.
- Sometimes parts of your movement material flickers up like a memory or a far away song.
- Change your position 3 to 4 times.

Score
- 2 persons are reading the text. They make breaks between the words and lines. The change the rhythm of the sentences. They listen to each oher closly and compose togeher.
After the last sentence everyone moves to the periphery of the space.

Score
- The space stays empty and silence for a while.

PART TWO

Score: Variations of running. First establish the running; crossing the space, in he diagonal, in circles. Catch some ones runnning and do it together. Then start to variate and create "funny walks", but even then running is the main theme.

[Sound: Born this way / Taking about Revolution / Shake it all off (Fade in and out)]

Score
Transition into your individual movement material. Offer it to the group, accept offers which are made to you.
30% create, 30% particpate, 30% no acivity.

NEVER FORGET: YOUR ARE GORGEOUS AND BEAUTIFUL!
GO FOR IT!
GO TOGETHER!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Score:
One person is reflectig loud the text which was read in the beginning.

PART THREE
Sound: Imagine (John Lennon & Yoko Ono), fades in and out and increases the volume.

Score
Everyone in sinks into the floor. Do it in your own time. Unfolds till you are laying at the floor.

Score
In memory of the first text: quoting, paraphrasing, reflecting questioning the content in ONE or TWO ines. Sit up, when you say something. Then turn around to lay down in a different position. Play with interrupting each other.
Sometimes stand up on your feet, but don't talk. Play with silence. Be carefull that there is not continuous talking happening.

Transition:
Everybody stands up. Then silence.
One is starting to dance a soft memory. Others a swinging gently. Zooming of the senses.

One tumbles, starts running and falling. Other get to her as quick as possible to catch her, to support her.
This happens 3 times with different people.

All coming together. Moving through sapce like a wild bunch full of joy and support of each other.

Spliting into 3 uneven groups. Going to he ground together by giving each other weight and standing up again.

All stand in silence vibrating, leaning swinging softly. Ginving into the ohysical aftereffects to the event.
