Welcome to Translation. Tonight’s program offers multiple insights into how choreography is conceived, embodied and re-interpreted. The art of transference is an underlying theme - how dances are re-imagined in new spaces and on current students; how they relocate from the rehearsal studio to the stage and from the lobby to the proscenium. The moment of performance is itself a transitive state. Dancers and audience members construe meaning through simultaneous translation. The Department of Dance is delighted to share multiple movement languages with you this evening and to showcase the wide-ranging talents of our students and faculty.

— Angela Kane, Chair, Department of Dance

Choreographer’s Note: Commissioned by U-M’s Arts Engine  for the conference “The Role of Art-Making and the Arts in the Research University” and premiered May 5, 2011, Hath Purest Wit was created for and performed in the Duderstadt Center atrium on North Campus. The dance sought to express a key neurocognitive element of the creative process—insight thinking. Making the dance and performing it were both akin to attempting to solve puzzles with many possible solutions.

Now, a new space, new puzzles to solve, and new insights have spurred another version of Hath Purest Wit. This time, at the Power Center, you are welcomed into the creative process. An interactive performance installation in the lobby invites you to translate what you see into words or sketches. What you see and interpret in the lobby is re-imagined onstage, not just through movement but also through music and text. Making and experiencing art form part of a buoyant, flexible, ongoing process.

Acknowledgments: Special thanks to the superb performers and designers for their insights and creative contributions all along the way. Many thanks to Beth Genné for her valuable feedback, and to all of the University Productions staff and production crew members for their generosity and expertise.

Choreographer’s Note: This “rhapsodic” choreography, consisting of four sections, presents the poetry that speaks of love, humanity, and farewell mixed with a spontaneous spring spirit.  It is a “song” of the body expressing vitality, yearning, and sadness. One section adagio and another quick and dynamic, this performance presents a panorama of expression to the music of Monteverdi, Villa-lobos, Bach, and Alberto Iglesias.

INTERMISSION

A un giro sol ( Sunflower) by MonteverdiYour lovely eyes bless everything they seeand with one glance, what is seen seems changed.Look at the wind, you whisper and the treescalm and the long grass rises on its stems;and when you say The night is lovely, the shorestills as though while tilting back in blissthe moon forgot its tides. My darling, stareone dawn unflinching on the sun, I swearthe birds that day will soar in different skies.Yet there remain two things that cannot change:the suffering and the grief within my eyes,and the knowing that when you were bornwith a soul so cruel and so unkind,my heart was cursed to love you and to die. 

Aria by Villa-Lobos, Lyrics by Ruth V. CorreaIn the early evening floats a cloud transparent and rosyInfinite the sky of beauty and dreamingThen the Moon appears as day comes to a closingDecorating sky as if a girl that’s preeningWho so anxious, trying to make herself so pureYearning deep in her soul she seems to be cryingCrying to the sky and to the earth and all Nature Silent all the birds stop, listen the Moon is complainingAnd the sea reflecting the pain, her splendorSoftly now you know the Moon is just wakingHomesick with the feeling that weeps while it’s laughingIn the early evening floats a cloud transparent and rosyInfinite the sky of beauty and dreaming

Choreographer’s Note: The story of the headless woman is true. While visiting my father in North Carolina a few years ago, I came across an article in the local paper that interviewed a young woman who had taken a job as the headless woman in a sideshow at the NC State Fair. She explained how, on a lark, she signed on for this unusual job—how she had transformed or translated her known life into something bizarre and new, how she wanted to see life through a completely different lens. I was intrigued and riveted by the possibilities for a dance/theater endeavor. It was first translated from newspaper story to stage in 1998, with a cast of characters—the headless woman, the MC, the carnival barker, the flame swallower, the tattoo lady, the tiger woman, and the accordion player—to create a world of captivating misfits.

Acknowledgments: A huge shout out, enormous thanks, and gratitude to the talented cast for their robust creativity and unwavering enthusiasm in working with me to translate Headless Woman for the Power Center Stage. Thank you to all the collaborators for their vivid and beautiful contributions. And a special thanks to Brittany Whitmoyer for her keen eye, sense of humor and generosity, and for keeping it all running smoothly.
