Barrel House Blues - Rehearsal
Rehearsal images from the show ‘Barrel House Blues’ by Katherine Duham, reprised by the choreographer James Carlès.
A lonely old woman enters a bar in Chicago and meets a young man – a phantasm. In slow flirtation, their bodies move closer to one another, pelvis against pelvis, until they hit one other. One of the first vernacular artistic fusions, combining ideas and modern dance, ‘Barrel House Blues’ was, at the time, shocking, and above all a driving force that enchanted the audience and disconcerted critics.
