Still Life with Decoy is an acceptance of an invitation, a gift to the host, a result of a surprise and a kind of pilgrimage. It travels between the porous disciplines of “dance” and “drama”, along a continuum from stillness to motion, including the body as found subject, the everyday and the staged, during the time when day becomes night.
The Invitation
We were treated tonight to an amazing piece of work by Ann Carlson, artist-in-residence at Stanford Dance Division, and Sebastián Calderón Bentin, PhD student in Drama. The evening began with encounters in Roble Studio before we were invited for a walk cross the campus.
