i know korrina rehearsed a lot during this last week of lighting. she would go on stage whenever there was a spare moment and run her dance, getting notes from ellen afterwards, i think.
i was wondering what she would call her dance. she kept saying it was very conceptual.
when she chose "locomotion" i kept singing this in my head, but now i wake in the morning to . . the glitch mob.
the last movement she does was taken from another dance of ellen's called extra genre (aka tape dance). ellen had a very good friend named george deem who passed away several years ago. he was an artist, and they sometimes collaborated on her class dances. for extra genre, he created about eleven or twelve movements that are danced by a solo dancer and then incorporated into a group. you can see a snippet of tape dance here. i thought it was a really nice nod to ellen and george for korrina to end with it, plus it fit so perfectly and is very moving.
getting some notes from ellen.
