The words I created sprung from my initial reactions to the dance phrases. I kept in mind the project's proposed use of the Cassandra theme and responded partly to how the phrases intersected it hence:
Between the Past and the Future we are lost
There is only an elusive vision to guide us
Some of the other word phrases have a less obvious connection, but I think with a closer questioning of her nature and actions they can be justified:
I gather all creation to me, inspired by The Earth and The Heavens. Preparing my ground with action and meditation
The other two phrases were more directly generated by the dancers during a rehearsal at which I was not present:
We are on a journey of brief encounters, but the ground is still slippery beneath
We do fall, saved by each other, and yet we contine alone
It is my hope to incorporate spoken text in this performance. Lisa's idea of having an Actor present in both location - either speaking in parallel or doing call and response - sounds fascinating. I am eager to hear any ideas of how text might be incorporated into this performance.
