performancespace122

COIL is Performance Space 122's 7th annual mid-winter festival featuring inventive and inspiring contemporary performance that's "aimed at the head, the guts and the heart" (New York Post).

This year's festival includes a US premiere of Michael Kliën's "Choreography for Blackboards":

"Choreography is not to constrain movement into a set pattern, it is to provide a cradle for movement to find its own patterns." - Michael Kliën

A silent, communal matrix of individuals "dreaming the real" imprints a landscape of marks and meaning on the surfaces of blackboards through a series of rehearsed patterns. Rising thoughts, visual thinking, and sensual perception form a choreography relating to exchange, sedimentation, erosion, and demise as audience members bear witness. You may sit, you may talk, you may read, you may walk throughout the performance.
