Finally, a set of three dance letters are on their way to dancers in Berlin, Italy and Vancouver B.C. Each letter is a customized response to the answers that people sent me in response to some questions and queries regarding various things including memory, place, travel, trees, longing, and listening. The letters contain a series of images and suggestions in response to these themes, allowing the recipient to experience a personal and private exchange. If this sounds a bit vague, well, drop me a line and perhaps I can send you a dance in the mail, too.

The latest edition of my zine, Fictional Anatomy, is out - this one is called ‘I feel hros’. Hros is old German for horse, and my family name, Rosner is based on this word (I guess we were people who took care of horses … ). My zine is a journal of my latest explorations in dance, sound, imagination and writing. So far there are three editions and it’s carried by raumschiff zine distro (Berlin).

Dance Letters at Thoughts on Text, a Hammock Residency project at Access (Vancouver August 2012).

During my stay at the Hammock Residency, I’ve been investigating the connections between intimately sourced personal movement and letter writing. I had the opportunity to set-up my typewriter in the gallery space and people visited me to receive a dance in letter form. Each person was interviewed and we had a short conversation around various topics. From there, I wrote personalized letters which they took from the gallery to read and experience at their leisure. I asked them to write me a postcard later, giving impressions and feedback about the experience. The contact between us was quite relaxed yet intimate and surprisingly physical, but only in an indirect and sometimes even metaphoric sense. If you are curious about the content of these letters, drop me a line. The project is ongoing and although there is something fruitful about a personal interview process, the letters can also be initiated over long-distances.

On August 4 2012, Prophecy Sun and I showed our work-to-date concerning memory and the body. We performed a sound and performance installation at The Hammock, sourcing from first memories of the snow, blizzard, injury, old skiis, duration, and mutual assistance. ’Remarkable Concussions and Other Memories of the Snow’ is the beginning of our investigation into the body/voice and its capacity to find expression in simultaneously physical and metaphoric modes. As we performed, we released memory and associations from the body, through movement and sound, sending reverberations out towards our audience. Further development will included expanded investigations into the notion of uniting sound and embodied performance, discovering how we can quietly transmit our experiential process through presence.

Kinect Four at weekendsound (September 2011, Berlin).

This is documentation of a improvised set between myself (dance), jesse scott (visuals), Hui-Chun Lin (Cello), and Sammy Chien (Laptop).

Presented by IDOLON Studio as part of weekendsound #9, at IAC Gallery, Berlin, Sept. 2011.

Jesse used the kinect to capture the visual information from my performance - and created visuals based on the three-dimensional data. There were four of us performing. Hence - the title ‘Kinect Four’.
