Unbewusste Orte, Feuilles Tourbillonnantes

Unbewusste Orte

One likes to dance,
another needs to

tighten her wheel.

Every moment
is innocence.

They carry those little
packages behind them.

Shit is earth.

What motivated
“Machine Gun” Kelly?

Certainly not poetry

in that battered past.

Wisps of notes.
A wisp of a girl.

Feuilles Tourbillonnantes

Now I’m away from forgiven
the netted mastery slides weekly

on, offended robotic slur
presage Rommel inveterate clutch

shinsplint ideogram
Malbec gelding

you land on a silver

crash aflow with life’s

hum in squawks.
I’m liberally hung

to fry all time.

But you so bootifal.

Christ, thought he was

gonna stifle himself.

Cold jones it.

Running this badge

of security a fall

time. And you’re

with me, so no excuses.

This merits hand-held.

Thank you, kind

protectress resounding

exclamations of

harbored ecstasy.

Judson Dance Theater: The Work is Never Done

by Nicole Meily

From 1962 to 1964, Judson Memorial Church hosted a series of performances that challenged the conventions of dance. These “Concerts of Dance,” performed by a group of artists collectively known as Judson Dance Theater, centered on choreography that involved quotidian movements and simple prompts. Incorporating everyday objects and music, these interdisciplinary performances were imbued with a spirit of experimentation and collaboration.

Pay to play: the costs of carving new space for dance

What about all the artists who don’t register on the curatorial grid? The recently defunct Createquity has published a lot of research on who gets to be an artist and how saturated the field is with aspiring creatives. Many dance makers are finding space to present or perform their own work outside of the usual venues.
