SHADOW SELF

October 28, 2016

 

October/2016 This was a collaboration with musician LXV from Philadelphia. The piece explored the concept of transcending the self through movement to music focused on the act of transcendence. A soft choreography set around the parameters of creating a ritual space using the materials of rope and water. Jenna enacted the ritual based upon different sections of the musical piece. She eventually exited her own being to find the energies and thoughts of those in the crowd. The dance that followed was no longer her own, but that of those watching. Here is an excerpt, captured by Nikki Rollason.
