DD Dorvillier/human future dance corps has been developing her artistic work in New York City since 1989. Her current project, "Danza Permanente", premiered in Europe in May, and heads to The Kitchen in New York this fall. At Wesleyan, DD Dorvillier will discuss the process and practices leading to the creation of this new work, whose choreography transposes the music structure, behavior and dynamics of a string quartet to be embodied over time and through space by four dancers, who behave as sound, and become visible music in silence.
DD Dorvillier is a 2012 Danspace / Institute for Curatorial Practice in Performance Artist in Residence.
"In all her works, DD Dorvillier probes the nature of interpretation and perception, whether by dissecting narrative or dispensing with it altogether."
