Avadance


http://www.alansondheim.org/avadance.mp4 [new/clear version]

PURPOSES, from avadance to avasound, these normal modes are
avadance and a just response to the very condition of the
night - think of avadance as that surplus which has nothing -
but there are crowds and audiences and anyone may learn avadance ...
Maud Liardon: "Do you say 'learn avadance' or 'learn to avadance'?"
And here is a faltering avadancer as sutured knot, closing the manifold
as such a dance, avadance:

"avadance
they come to greet hir: avadance
on the way down: avadance
on the way up: avadance
suturing with needle and thread, not here, not there, avadancer!
open the manifolds: avadancer!
falter failure: avadancer!"

AND with phantom or invisible objects the avadancers would find themselves

Alan Sondheim says: Maybe use avadance instead?

"Foofwa, avadance real
Alan, avadance irreal"

extended Kyoko's dance. The new dance was avadance. The new avatar was
Foofwa d'Imobilite and Twine. Julu Twine took
credit for the name 'avadance' - taught avadance to fellow students
modified by Julu Twine. Foofwa performs avadance. Again and again,
cameras attempt the impossible: record avadance. It's tiresome.
Foofwa d'Imobilite performed recorded avadance. Clarity is questionable
with phantom or invisible objects; the avadancers would find themselves
Kira for projection.

Kira Sedlock: "Avadance is what I call what we do when we dance"
Alan Sondheim: "Avadancers never falter."

An Undiscovered Memento in the Scattered Archives of Worldly Avadance
caught by Kira Sedlock, Julu Twine, Foofwa d'Imobilite's extensions.
The audience caught on.
Avadance spread everywhere.
Avadancers spread and sang:
