Description

Excerpt from the original performance of "Woman Sleeping". Part of a series called "Ladies of the Moon". Throughout the work, a woman is transported from her bedroom into regions both on our planet and on an imaginary moonscape. This dance for 10 overlaps time and uses multiple images to create a lyric and powerful work including a quasi-folk dance in authentic costumes that turns into a wailing dance of death. Excerpts from the full revival from THE BAGGAGE PROJECT 2011-12 can be found at https://youtu.be/fGRMHmOEJ-s?t=29.
