Les modulables - I’m getting nowhere and it is a pleasure
Recorded at the CND 8 March 2012
Since 2005, “Les Modulables” has grouped together short works for the stage and unclassifiable works, from creations by Joanne Leighton. An amalgam of performance, installation and happenings…
Each of “Les Modulables” develops its own theme and takes on a variety of forms, from solo to sextuor. Originating in the encounters of artists and a place, they blend together, modulate based on the spaces, until they attain a unique creation.
During a creative residence at the Centre national de la danse (National Centre for Dance), a new “Modulable” was created in 2012. A performative happening, imagined by Joanne Leighton and her six dancers which echoed the highly-particular architecture of the Pantin building.
This evening focused on choreographic and textual writing. Joanne Leighton’s dance rubs shoulders with lyrics by John Cage (Lecture on Nothing, Equally Loud, etc.), Alvin Lucier (I Am Sitting in a Room) and Peter Crosbie, who has been accompanying her for many years in acoustic creations.
