Manor Field

Manor Field from SENS Production on Vimeo.



Manor Field is a study on topography, translating the curves and lines of the land into the motion of bodies through space. Based on a series of rules to determine choreographic choices, the dancers created in each of the performances a new path and sequence while maintaining an overall decrease of speed, from running, to skipping, to walking with interwoven stillness. Manor Field was developed in collaboration with the participant dancers of "Dance Across Borders" at the Fisher Center.
