Tomorrow night, San Francisco’s pioneering contemporary dance company ODC will premiere a new work inspired by famed sculptor/environmental artist Andy Goldsworthy with live music by experimental cellist and loop musician Zoë Keating, likely familiar to Boing Boing readers from previous BB posts, or her appearances on Radiolab and Who Killed Amanda Palmer. For this piece, titled “boulders and bones,” ODC artistic directors Branda Way and KT Nelson took choreographic inspiration from the ever-transforming landscapes of art and nature. The visual context of the dance comes from a time-lapse film by RJ Muna shot during the seven-month installation of a Goldsworthy sculpture at private location north of San Francisco.
Performances of “boulders and bones,” along with several other works, will be held through March 30. Tickets are available here. Boing Boing is delighted to share the special video below from a “boulders and bones” rehearsal, along with another stunning photograph of dancer Natasha Adorlee Johnson by RJ Muna.
