D for 887
As in our identity, as in relationships, as in life, choreographic structures are formed by way of memory.
“The memories brought forth, inherent in the musical material, also form a relationship to the memory of the place of production. In this sense musical material pre-exists, as it forms a dialogue with the material conditions of its production, the composer re-collecting this
material within the compositional process.”- Daniel Peter Biro, Remembering and Forgetting
In D for 887 choreographic material pre-existed with a different score of Frantz Schubert (Death and The Maiden). It is in this small space, just in between two of Schubert’s Master pieces, is
D for 887 a structure composed of two dancers, registering friction between tempo and melody, making it visible, flying with accuracy.
