BQdanza
will be performing a new Site-Specific piece: Frame. Place: Old Brewery
in Georgetown. June 28th 3:30 and 7.
Frame, a collective creation by BQdance members and choreographer Carla
Barragan, is a site-specific work developed at the Old Brewery House
in Georgetown. Frame depicts movement stories that can be viewed from
different angles. The audience is intended to walk freely through the
space experiencing the work in a number of frames, in other words, perspectives.
Some of the gesture work performed in the alcoves illustrates the vast
amount of goods and comfort that exist in our society, which in the
end, prove to be more harmful than helpful. Dancers create their own
movement perspectives on an array of items, e.g., nuclear weapons, cosmetics,
plastic bottles, insurance, tax rebates, online relationships, etc.
On the other hand, other sections offer to the viewer the kind of beauty
that emerges in a site without commodities where dancers can adapt and
exploit the surfaces of the ruins of a building where normal human comfort
no longer exist.

We
had a three city tour during April 2, 3, and 4/07, we showed excerpts
from Loud Omission, Pablo Cornejo's "todo para mi fue noche o tormenta"
and we showed our 2 videos.
"Barragán
accomplished her goal: to provoke in the audience a sense of awe that
emerges not from reason, but from the sensory perception. The variety
of arts that converge in this work eliminates any danger of labeling
it." (El Universo, April 2007)
