Begin to begin
Contemporary dance (2011)
Begin to Begin: a piece about dead ends sets in motion a rhyme about dying, playing with the idea of mortality to make it profound, yet unfrightening.
Michael is a celebration of all that we once had, and his funeral must be joyous, singular and repeated for each of us.
Having Michael Finnegan's popular song as a starting point; performers, choreographer and myself collaborated together in the studio to create a sound score that would serve as music, narrator and soundscape for the dance piece. The creation became a sonic web made with the voices of the performers, which provides them with space and meaning for their images and actions.
