Luke Jennings talking the bubble talk
This is from The Observer, Sunday 19 July 2009.
I brought it into rehearsal yesterday because Jennings asks those (well-worn) questions about dance and its audience. His rhetoric doesn’t necessarily allow for different types of choreographers making work for different types of (sometimes very small) audiences, but the “invisible barriers” he describes are, I suspect, also essential to consider.
The article was published the same day I went to see Marina Abramovic presents … at Manchester Festival. As part of the four hour installations/performances, Abramovic spent an hour ‘preparing’ us for the viewing. It was, in many respects, a way to break down these invisible barriers. Quite special indeed.
