My Father Was A Painter In Another Life - June 11, 2016 LEIMAY Fellows Showcase - SOAK Festival - Brooklyn, US

"My Father Was A Painter In Another Life" is a work about the forms that emerge via fragmentation. It moves, like memory, between structure and chaos. Memory holds both crystal clear images and subtle fragments of history and past selves. I'm taking the balance between structure/chaos/flow and applying it to movement. I created a sound piece for this work based on the line "my father was a painter in another life, though this isn't something he will ever know". The line repeats and fragments and the masculine structure of the movement is broken down until there is only an echo that remains. From this place the raw sound becomes a song and the movement emerges as a dance.
