We are only two weeks away from the opening of I CAN MOVE SMALL OBJECTS WITH MY MIND! As part of the countdown to premiere night, we're giving you some insight on the three pieces that together compose SMALL OBJECTS. This week, we talk about our near, dear, and dangerous Huldy Humongous (aka Wedding Cake!)
Huldy Humongous is a piece for ten dancers in richly textured single-color velvet jumpsuits to music that is vaguely "of the noble hunt" with french horns and percussion, but which devolves to something much more out of control. A portion of this work premiered in the Dance Gallery Festival in Huntsville, TX this October.
From Jennifer Wood: "With this new work I'm playing with symmetry and stasis contrasted with dynamic fluidity. The piece starts out with the dancers creating mirror images along a central axis with a lot of "snapshot" moments."
"The poses are decidedly decorative and I gave the dancers the task of picking the most ridiculous, least efficient pose possible derived from our base movement phrase which is very fluid and loose."
