This poem, improvised by Antin during a festival in honour of John Cage in May of 1989, is also how\u00a0<em>Never Ending Story<\/em>\u00a0starts&#8230; and, for that matter, started. Ty Boomershine and the Dance On Ensemble invited me to reply, in my own way, to\u00a0<em>Story<\/em>, a work that Merce Cunningham premiered in 1963.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I felt it was time for me to come and do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Someone comes onto the stage and tells you some stories. Stories about structure and rhythm. Stories about feelings and repetitions. The story of the feeling of the dance that&#8217;s about to appear. \u00a0The story of the gestures taking place whilst this stream of words produces it. By telling stories, dancers prepare themselves to listen to their own voices and to feel their own bodies move. \u00a0While talking, they experience the thought as it happens to a mind and, above all, to a body. \u00a0 By \u201cit happens\u201d, one must mean everything but an abstract process: Thought is far from being a\u00a0disembodied concept, indeed, thought is literally body-produced and it acts upon the body in return.<\/p>\n<p>To talk and to dance, talking as you dance, dancing as you talk. To dance as an effort to get closer to what thought is, but also to the singular tone of your own voice formulating a thought.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mcnt\">This work is performed in the evening Making Dances&#8221; as a choreographic response to Merce<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"mcnt\">Cunningham\u2019s &#8220;Story&#8221;, but can be presented singularly.<\/div>\n<div class=\"mcnt\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mcnt\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Production:<\/strong> Dance On\/DIEHL+RITTER<br \/>\n<strong>In cooperation with: <\/strong>Kammerspiele M\u00fcnchen<br \/>\n<strong>With the support of:<\/strong> Montpellier Danse \u00e0 l\u2019Agora, cit\u00e9 internationale de la danse\/ Avec le soutien de Montpellier Danse \u00e0 l\u2019Agora, cit\u00e9 internationale de la danse<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choreography: Mathilde Monnier With: Ty Boomershine, Emma Lewis, Jone San Martin, Gesine Moog, Marco Volta Light Design: Martin Beeretz Sound Design: Mattef Kuhlmey Artistic Collaboration: St\u00e9phane Bouquet Costume: Mathilde Monnier Costume Assistance: Nora Stocker Technical Direction: Martin Beeretz \u201cWhen I received this invitation to come talk about Merce Cunningham\u2019s work, I felt it was time [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"content-produktionen.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-productions"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dance-on.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dance-on.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dance-on.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dance-on.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dance-on.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dance-on.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dance-on.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dance-on.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dance-on.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
