Memo (2006)
Choreography: Samuel Pott
Music: Dvorak, Bloch, Prokofiev and Rochberg
Memo, Nimbus Dance Works’ signature work, emerged out of a collaborative process of delving into dancers’ personal memories for movement sources and content. In additional to being performed as a traditional concert dance work, Memo also serves as a community dance project that involves dancers of all ages, background and abilities drawn from the community to perform alongside the professionals. This format generally involves a residency in which community members are led through a process of exploring their memories to generate a personalized movement vocabulary. The creation and performance process of Memo builds memorable and meaningful experiences for performers, audience members and the community in general. Additionally, audience members are drawn into the piece by contributing written memories of their own which are integrated into the performance in real time.
