Performance

Location:

Grand Luxe Hall, Western Front

Description:

With accompaniment on piano by Bruce Cuddeford, Andrew de Lotbinière Harwood performed a solo dance in the Grand Luxe Hall. During the hour-long work, de Lotbinière Harwood moved in and around things in the room—including a ladder, Cudeford’s piano, and the illumination of a spotlight—to test their limits and potentials as supports for his body. To conclude the piece, the audience encircled de Lotbinière Harwood and were invited to dance together. 

Video documentation is available upon request.
