Colin & Simon

Performance research blog detailing collaboration between choreographers Colin Poole and Simon Ellis

More notes. These are all a bit over the place, but I want to get them ‘out there’ for Colin, and the other two people following this blog (my mother? my sister-in-law?)

request, demand, obligation, threat. Increasing levels of inflexibility with respect to demands on an audience.

We talked some more about the ‘ecstatic’, and of the notion of ecstatic place existing across a spectrum from being totally about the ‘self’, through to an act of selflessness.

Colin was interested in working with scores/actions in which we were trying to achieve something. Functional activities (care/interfere). e.g. making myself comfortable.

We talked of framing boredom as a value (something that has come up a bit).

Without closing your eyes, can you make me disappear?

It’s about you, it’s about you looking at me.
