This weekend, the collaboration between our four idiosynCrazy performers and nine Swarthmore College students culminates in a performance for the Swarthmore Spring Student Dance Concert<\/a>, this Friday and Saturday night at 8pm.\u00a0 The show is free and takes place in Swarthmore’s Lang Performing Arts Center.\u00a0 Collectively, the 13 collaborators formed the following manifesto:<\/em><\/p>\n

WE are for an art of independent actions. \u00a0CREATION is a winding path. This piece is first and foremost a collaboration. All parts of this dance are flexible and are not permanent. This is democratic. \u00a0NOTHING is more interesting than three giraffes. This piece is genuinely weird, steeped in quiet stillness. A somber, opaque dance, sans impulse, which \"\"<\/a>corresponds to the whimsical nature of John Cage’s music (curious and aloof). \u00a0YOUR pain doesn’t affect or move me. Each event is caused by the previous event, and causes the following event in a clear way, with a clear impetus. Everything is interrelated, but only because it is witnessed. We interrupt ourselves. Small movements require MORE space. WE coexist in a strange world. \u00a0We are apathetic. \u00a0It\u2019s about coping with the absurdities of life. Its purpose is to struggle with various conceptions of reality. This is dance. This is art. This piece does not end when the lights fade and dancers leave the stage. \u00a0ANYTHING is a correct answer.<\/p>\n

*a quick reminder to subsribe to our weekly vlog project<\/a>, too<\/p>\n
