TAKING CHANCES/MAKING CHOICES
TAKING CHANCES/MAKING CHOICES
The 2010 JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience has been a festival of collaborations. Foofwa d’ Imobilite’s The Making of Spectacles was a different and exciting collaboration with the audience in the selective creation of the dance-piece, influenced by Merce Cunningham’s ‘chance’ theory, using a democratic voting system rather than flipping a coin.

The transposition of a dance work from the rehearsal space to the stage is always interesting and often a magical process.

Samantha Daly
Last evening JOMBA! hosted Swiss choreographer, Foofwa d’Imobilité with his The Making of Spectacles (2008) . It directly involves the audience in the creation of the performance, which, Foofwa explains, serves as a way “to look at the psychology of spectator expectations, aesthetic desires, and participation in the making of a work of art... [And] ‘De-sacralising’ the grandeur of the spectacle”.

Foofwa d’Imobilité, born Frédéric Gafner, took the conventions of dance theatre and the notion of the fourth wall and smashed them to smithereens last night in his “The Making of Spectacles”.

It’s not every day that a man in a shiny, gold suit welcomes you into a theatre space by handing you a cheaply printed pamphlet advertising overly-expensive funeral home policies.

A bare stage. Two bodies. Dimly lit, they crouch with their backs to the audience. Power and strength emanate from every angle, even in their stillness…. but then… they begin to move.

A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION
A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION
Lisa Sterne
There was talk of death after Sello Pesa’s site specific installation performance “Lime Light on Rites” which dealt with funeral policies in South Africa.
This performance left the audience wanting to talk about facts and rituals surrounding death in this country. As a 22 year old middle class white South African I have not given funeral policies much consideration, as death is not something I face regularly. Pesa explained that this is not the case for him and many poor communities.
