ODC/Dance
Choreography by Brenda Way and KT Nelson

 

In towering timelapse video, the dusty gestation of British land artist Andy Goldsworthy’s hillside sculpture Culvert Cairn unfolds. As a capstone rises to top the imposing monument, a group of lithe bodies emerges from behind the screen. In this meditation on permanence and decay by Bay Area-based choreographers Brenda Way and KT Nelson, the dancers of ODC/Dance leap and glide through the geologic evocations of RJ Muna’s cinematic mise-en-scène. Driven by cellist Zoë Keating’s propulsive live score, boulders and bones reveals the high drama simmering beneath Goldsworthy’s quiet earthen articulations.
