Here are some notes on Handleless
H
After many years of integrating dance, landscape,
culture, and performance projectLIMB has arrived at the Handleless project.
Handleless examines how we create, evolve, and perform by keeping the relationships,
rather than the content, as primary. In focusing on these unending relationships
which we are engaged in, but overlook. We create a frame around a frame, making
the invisible, visible. Instead of narrating what is known about our global
moment i.e. climate change, massive extinction, and exponential pollution. Handleless
moves from the external symptoms to the internal as an attempt at revelation.
Our bodies, the space, and the interactions between become our laboratory, discovering
new possibilities for awareness and communication in practice and performance.
Handless is also an outreach process where we work in community centers, libraries,
gardens, and parks with a workshop element. This gives us a way to open the
process and deepen the inclusion of a non-dance audience, sharing what we are
engaged with and allowing the participants to accompany us on our journey through
Handleless. We are creating rehearsals that include senior citizens, children,
and diverse voices. The workshop material will end up in the performance through
recordings, movement, and video.
In creating Handleless we draw upon the world as it is being received through
our senses, avoiding the trap of naming, deciding, and fixing. We work through
scores, phrases, and dialogues that investigate interactions, and allowing for
spontaneous creations that let the moment remain unfiltered. Handleless cherishes
impermanence, with all its possibility and chance for renewal. We are not fixed,
none of us, and dance is a way to celebrate this.dleless is a choreography
that draws from this ephemerality, moving away from perfect lines and static
events, implying an open readiness, that disappears as soon as it is created.
