Essays on Physical Practice #1
~ l’horizon d’attente
"l’horizon d’attente" is the first draft of a choreographic exercise in effort and expectation. The work takes initial inspiration from Anne Carson’s episodic poem TV Men, which conflates classic myth and biography with television performances, confronting the notion of authenticity in personal narrative and character. This series of short, irreverent dances offers various episodic scenes, in which the four performers untangle their own relationships to “physical practice” in performative, social, and private
spaces.
