Scores of Performance
This month I had the chance to interview Matthew Goulish on the Art21 blog about a recent performance at Holstein Park, They’re mending the great forest highway. I also posted a second written piece about the performance on Badatsports. Below, I’ve included the note I wrote to myself during the performance.
1. MOVEMENT FOLLOWED THE FIRST NARRATOR
a. a dance.
remember it was hot.
the men were sweating through their clothes.
they incorporated points of rest into their cheoreography
2. A MUSICAL BETWEEN
3. MORE DANCING (scores)
the original narrator.
“What or who is in need of mending? This dance will accomplish”
VOLTZER
tritone/locating dissonance
death/crisis

A score for the body is an effective way to create a record of movement-in-time.
