The Place 40th anniversary
It was the 40th anniversary of The Place and a special three nights event was organized. I made some music for my friend / choreographer, Aletta Collins who was directing / choreographing those nights. The content was kind of a British contemporary dance history. Mainly established pieces in the past were performed and in between small talks of people who contributed to the foundation of The Place were played as audio. I am a fan of contemporary dance but 70′s 80′s work seemed from long time ago and that made me think, is a contemporary dance still contemporary? Street Dance might have taken over? I liked Aletta’s piece as it wasn’t from a past and very fresh. Anyhow I love composing music for dance as dancers pick up small details in music and translate them into their own movement. Watching them actually dancing to each beat, note, noise that I created is a real satisfaction. While the 3 nights event were going on, the sky was totally clear and blue. Has summer arrived? I couldn’t help capturing the moment.
