grey matter

In grey matter, Shelley Senter examines influence, history, visibility, authorship and ownership in collaboration with sound scores by Andrew Wass, and LOWER LEFT and NON FICTION collective members Nina Martin, Margaret Paek, Rebecca Bryant, Kelly Dalrymple-Wass and Andrew Wass.

1959

In 1959, his first Danspace Project commission, David Thomson explores the notions of erasure and overlay from the intersection of coexisting narratives of body and text. Commissioned writers Onomé Ekeh, Glenn Ligon, Clarinda Mac Low, and Pamela Sneed construct diverse language inspired by events from 1959 to form the spoken terrain. Collaborating with the actress Sarena Kennedy and dancer Omagbitse Omagbemi, Thomson creates a trio of separate realities, placed and yet displaced within each other”s parallel landscape.

PLATFORMS 2010 is a component of Danspace Project”s Choreographic Center Without Walls (CW2), a multi-year commissioning and presentation research and development project which has received major support from The Andrew W.

As part of Platforms 2010, 1959 and grey matter are made possible with funds from the 2009-2010 Danspace Project Commissioning Initiative with support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
