This performed solo explores the single dancer, She, embodying both
the power of her voice and limbs and the voice and limbs of all of her
sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers. She is both the one blackbird,
and also stands in for the cloud of blackbirds. However, this is
not a ballet. It is a song for solitude. Dancer Katye Coe collaborates with choreographer Stefan Jovanović and filmmaker Charlie Cattrall to
create a 25 minute site-adaptable performance work, exploring the
materiality, aural scape and movement of the blackbird's
song. The piece explores questions of invisible relations between woman
and animal, as one body attempts to perform the flock of many. This is a
dance-rite for the black-bird, a dance of animism and non-binary
constellations.Research & Development Sharing August 18, 2018
