“As dance design explores the rhythms of moving (Time); relationships of the body to space (Shape); position of dance to dancer, and to audience (Space); and how to use body, limbs, eyes, trunk (Movement), there will be narrative journal recordings and – eventually sophisticated 3-dimensional computer-graphic renditions. However we progress, the dynamic of sharing tested methods and new approaches, as we will witness in the Siegel/Bartoszek duet ‘Open Windows,’ will continue for the good of all.”
-Kate Walsh
