PDA, performed with PDA dancers and Koine
Nuit Blanche 2017
​
For a collaboration with dancers from PDA, I was asked to write short lines of poetry corresponding to four categories; earth, air, water, fire. These lines of poetry
were read aloud by members of a public audience to the dancers of PDA and the musicians of KOINE during a 12 hour performance on Dundas Street in London ON. The poetry complimented an abstract score the musicians from KOINE were playing. The dancers interpreted the poetry and music and rhythmic movements and gestures performed by the dancers. This work was performed for Nuit Blanche in London ON.
