The Water Project: THIRST
Choreographer's Notes, by Suzanne Miller (May 16, 2016)
Interestingly,
the percentage of water contained within our body mirrors the percentage of
water in the earths’ body.
Water
marks our existence and continues to reveal life itself never fully knowing
either beginnings or ends.

On
June 4th, I share the stage with dancer/collaborator/perfect dance
partner Karsten Kroll, with whom I’ve danced since 2000, and
composer/musician/life partner Allan Paivio with whom I’ve worked since 1985.
Performed
on a mirrored floor surface and riddled in plastic, THIRST uses the three states of water’s transformation -- SOLID, LIQUID and VAPOUR
-- as a resource to direct the choreography, scenography and music composition.
The kaleidoscopic effect of the mirrors creates a hybrid body where boundaries
between, BONE, BLOOD and BREATH – are mixed.
The
mirrors also provide water for an interpretation of “The Dying Swan.” This ends the production - it pays homage
to the iconic solo choreographed by Mikhail Folkine (1905), made famous by the
legendary Anna Pavlova.
We look forward to returning to Guelph Dance
festival and are eager to reunite with our family and extended community.
