A tongue-in-cheek postmodern tribute to Trisha Brown’s Cube score as learned from Carol McDowell, [4] is an four-sided improvisational structure created in collaboration with the dancers. An absurdist, geometrical, and sonic abstraction, the piece has four sections that combine pre-composed material and improvisational openness to different degrees.

improvised performance, movement, and sound: Khanhsong Nguyen, Jazmyne Koch, Rebecca Van Dover and Hillary Pokrywka

[4] is inspired by elements from Carol McDowell’s “surrender” and Trisha Brown’s “Water Motor.” The piece was commissioned by the Colorado College Dance Festival and created during a week-long residency with festival participants.
