***
There will be suggested scores you're invited to engage with and respond to,
the time is yours - take as much as you need.
It is a time to build and exchange with what looks back at you,
what surrounds you.
An invitation to slow down and listen, absorb, discover and imprint
on the space.
brilliant you is a re-imaging and interrogation of Lembeck’s yet to be premiered (due to covid-19 cancellation) solo dance -- re-titled: led from the yard -- in which the material used as an integral partner to the work, mylar paper, now becomes the center of the work itself.
The installation is driven by this question from Mette Igvartsen’s The Artificial Nature Project, “what does it mean to make choreography for materials where human movement is no longer the center of attention?”
Which, in turn, leads this work to ask its own questions: how do materials reflect our humanity back to us? How can consider ourselves through the material?
brilliant you is a dance for the mylar and a place to witness its expression. A site for accessing personal consciousness and reflection.
