The performing body, the sculptural body, the body as subject. Just as machines break down, bodies break down, fail. Drop operates at the intersection of these ideas of ‘body.’ It is an active proposition. Drop, topple, plonk, drag, droop, lie, sprawl, rest, pause, float, stop, drip. Drop is a dance, and water is the body. Drop is a dance that embodies contrary impulses of control and abandon. A machine has control, a drop only has direction. Combine them. Site recordings and performed sounds mean listening happens twice, on capture, and again while looking. The site recordings are from the lakes and the rivers and the creeks. The dance is for the lakes and the rivers and the creeks.
