Just Your Two Wrists

Just Your Two Wrists

The music, just (after song of songs), composed by David Lang and performed by Trio Medieval, is constantly creating chasms of loss, as well as potential. In each pocket of silence, there’s an opportunity for the dancer to keep striving. But we never know what kind of movement will come pouring out of the body—the dancer has to change qualities as fast as life happens. Physically, the work keeps unraveling in a way that begs to be seen. The entire series of steps, when attempted in just the right order and just the right timing, reveals the picture of a hand waving in the distance leaving the begging impression of “wait for me”, or “remember me” or even “goodbye, for now.”
