Katie Duck: The Day After
at
Arts Centre
Ashburton
19:00
Description
Katie Duck has been a professional performer and maker since the early 1970s.
She describes herself as an ?experimental dance artist? and she's been an influential figure in how she placed improvisation as an intricate element in composition and performance, inspiring generations of dancers, musicians, singers and actors. Her performances are a practice of presence in a sound-driven space with, as she says, ?flirtation to engage publics?.
She was based at Dartington from 1987 ? 1990, and is now living in Amsterdam.
Katie writes:
?The combination of moving, seeing, hearing, feeling and deliberately volunteering to expose myself in front of an audience alters my perception of time, space and emotions. What I do for a living is an induced neurone madness.?
The day after is a one hour performance integrating movement and live music with soundtracks, and film. Inspired by being involved with relatives who have a diversity of mind, who live in the river of what we believe is normal, swimming past realness of how private the mind is.
