Subject: Murderous Dancesphere for Foofwa'd'I'm'mobilized Company
Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2005 06:55:05 -0500 (EST)
Murderous Dancesphere for Foofwa'd'I'm'mobilized Company Project: An enormous translucent plasticine sphere 300m in diameter will be erected upon certain neighborhoods in Geneva. Here, dancers will perform without the benefits of occasional inclement weather. In the style of Niki de Saint Paul, dancers will perform within the fabricated and static bodies of dancer-avatars ranging in height from 40m to 400m, constructed of similar material; these bodies are partially encased and partially external to the Dancesphere itself. Due to the rigors of the weather, this sphere and accompanying avatar structures are designed to remain on site indefinitely. The result is a natural, perfect, and perfectly natural, space for the permanent housing of the FdImC. Date: This project will be fully in place at the time of the 2006 vernal equinox, 3m/20d/18hr/26min. Occasion and occasional: The project commemorates, not the impresario FdIm, but the Companions of the Company themselves, who have repeatedly requested a politically murderous space for their performances. In addition, we hope, with good reason, for the fallout of precipitation from the recumbent surfaces of the plasticine architectonics; new patterns of weather will result, outlined in faint traces of polluting residue on the concrete and asphalt surfaces of certain historic sections of the city. Please note the simulated blood and other effluvia 'coursing' through the artificial veins (in actuality, supporting tubules) of the structures. Addendum: Dancers' injuries are quickly absorbed, not only through self- absorption, but also by the Dancesphere and avatars themselves, which organically respond. http://www.asondheim.org/ds01.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/ds02.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/ds04.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/ds04.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/ds05.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/ds06.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/ds07.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/ds08.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/ds09.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/ds10.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/ds11.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/ds12.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/ds13.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/ds14.jpg
