About
RHAPSODY IN MOTION
The idea of having other people to collaborate with just gives
it a whole other dimension for me and probably is the thing that
really got me on board the project, especially working with people
from different cultural backgrounds and art forms. For me having
other art forms brings in very different ways of looking and experiencing
cultures. It is very much beyond just an intellectual understanding
or a restatement of the timeline (of Federation). This project is
very much a multi-dimensional exercise and because we are also dealing
with the process of how we’re making this work, it becomes
more than just a final product.
I’m
starting to get some sense of the possibilities, of convergence
and overlays, of what each of us might bring. I think some of the
stories that we bring might then get translated into sound, music,
visual imagery and language, which will then, in some way, be brought
into this space where we are performing the event.
