“PROJECT DETAILS:

Thesis: 

Over the course of one year, starting in July 2023, I will hold one session per month. During each session, I will set a score on a varying number of dancers and musicians. Scores are written prior to each rehearsal, and also transcribed live to text in the studio by a designated transcriber. During these 180 minutes of each session, whatever is made becomes the completed work. The year will end with 12 completed works, a massive archive of video/text/photo/participants/material, and a book of movement scores.  

Participant Experience:  

Come as you are!

First, we gather and warm-up as a group. We participate in a movement and vocal/sound warm-up. Then dancers and musicians share the space for 10 minutes of improvisational play. Once we have a sip of water, we embark on building a mutually receptive, inclusive score for dancers and musicians. The scores all vary but these are a handful of themes I am thinking about – rules, parameters, equations, coding, culture, mapping, vulnerability, unison, sequence, opposing dynamics, neutral, translation, transportation, solo vs ensemble...   

March 17 Score 

will cherry-pick from each score developed since July 2023 ending in a coda of new ideas”

Four Statements on Attention

Choreographed by Eve Jacobs. Performed by Eve Jacobs, Alexander Anderson, Jay Beardsley & Savannah Jade Dobbs.

Saturday, 3/9/24 at at Hunter College, the Peggy theatre

"A danced thesis on the art of paying attention, I choreographed this work in an attempt to illustrate the sharpening effect that dance has on my mind. The process was enlivened by a sense of collaboration between all four members of the cast. Each dancer brings something unique to the work; each dancer is a statement on attention." - Eve Jacobs
