WHY NOW ?
Chapters, 1, 2 & 3
Chapters, 1, 2 & 3
"Why Now?" is a piece in three chapters, engaging the audience to reflect on that tipping point when change happens.
Chapter 1 “Why” - Follows the path of a woman on the leave. Memories and experience - whether conscious or unconscious, real or imagined - conjure events in her life as she strives to discover who she is and what she is about to do. The choreography and staging create a living projection of her inner thoughts set in a mental landscape devoid of the boundaries of time and space where the dynamic collision of memories, interpretations and aspirations takes place.
Chapter 2 “Now” - If "Why" is something you tell, ""Now" is something you live. If the first is mental, the second is physical. Movement becomes a jolt of energy flowing through this woman, expressing the visceral - almost biological - impact of the confrontation to others and to the Instant. Like following a series of related thoughts and emotions in their journey through the body, this chapter meets the concrete reality of the present from the inside of the body perspective, explores the impact of the mind's activity on physical movement at this particular moment when decision is wanted, when letting go must happen, when questioning and determination still compete.
Chapter 3 “?” Questioning a third space. She enters a realm of possibilities
What remains after the illusion of being this or that fades away?
What lives on after the identification to a constricted self wipes off?
An ageless presence intimately linked to the Present
"Why Now?" is a piece about optimism and strength in the face of change. Evolution is something we are desperately frightened of and yet yearn for passionately.
