PERCEPTION // Mapping the Void // VESSEL

Hands to floor, feet to wall, legs astride two others.  I ascended the stairs to reach The Alchemical, a performance, screening, and rehearsal theater bordering the West Village and Chelsea, and was greeted with a soft and familiar floral scent; incense alight.  Upon entering, I stepped into a white staging space without borders, save for the four walls of the room.  It was the…

ESSAY//mag.net//Human Kinetics Movement Arts and e+i Studio

It began with instant attraction.  Dancer and choreographer Yana Schnitzler had worn a bracelet with a magnetic clasp when dining at a restaurant.  While reaching towards the table, a fork became attached to her bracelet, dangling from her wrist.  That event provided inspiration for her to explore the effects of magnetism on the human body and,…

The Chocolate Factory Theater

September 13 –15 & 17 – 22, 2012

As I queued for the performance, a gaggle of pre-adolescent boys flailed down the sidewalk proclaiming, "Oh, a chocolate factory!" "I want chocolate!" The amiable gentleman behind me, last in line, chucked and said, "Sorry…

LEIMAYblog // Reflections on Becoming by LEIMAY member Andrew

To accept the notion of "becoming" as central involves both a tearing down and a freeing up to build. On the one hand, we have to watch certain notions that we like very much, formerly steady and eternal, sink and crumble into steaming, swirling murk. Some of these are pretty important navigational maps.

But then so on the other hand, as those maps disappear, the world behind them eventually (after some blind scrabbling around) starts to come into focus on its own terms.…

LEIMAYblog // Reflections on Becoming by LEIMAY guest Kevin Fay

We are constantly becoming. Inside each new day, we are changing and evolving. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, if we allow ourselves, we change all the time. That being said, however, why does that happen? Why are we not static beings? Also, how does it happen? Can we stop it? I suspect we can't, but the mind is a powerful thing capable of leading us to believe anything -- especially if we are motivated (e.g. by fear, by instinct, by others, etc.).

LEIMAYblog // Tipping Point by LEIMAY guest Kevin Fay

A tipping point is a sensitive, delicate place. In most cases, I believe it is a place where change/evolution begins/ends.

absorbing from the surrounding, forming in to reflection of it,

transforming in to new and different yet the same. 

slowmoving, deformed.                                              time stops.

shapeless. birth.                                                       identityless.

reaching a shape, moment of stillness and suddenly dissolving again. disappearing.

 

never coming.

 

keeping becoming.

LEIMAYblog // Reflections on Becoming by LEIMAY member Andrea Jones

A process… it signifies an eventual change. There is movement and evolution: a flowing current of electricity. Even in supposed stillness, there is movement: a humming, buzzing, vibrating energy. Energy that is active. Energy that is latent. It lies hidden, dormant within the organism. Fighting, struggling against the cocoon of the flesh. Propels us towards the next stage of existence: towards annihilation, towards realization.

 

To become something other than what you already…

VIDEO // Paradisiac Bestiary

 

"Paradisiac bestiary" is exploring various realms of the biblical sin, focusing on totemic elements and also on the christian symbol of the apple as the main epic pretext for the escape from the garden of Eden. Reinterpreting the fall from paradise using pagan ritualistic masks, the four characters challenge their identities as they're planning to be their…

PERCEPTION // Findlay/Sandsmark // fractured bones/let's get lost

Probably the first thing one would notice walking into findlay//sansmark's new piece would be the row of programmers lined up in front of the stage, wearing costumes and foil hats.  Or perhaps it was the small tower of aged computer monitors playing loops of the set's design.  Either way, the…

PERCEPTION // Esther Kläs at MoMA PS1

One’s typical reading and research on Esther Kläs would lead to a discussion over self-generated sculptural work, the fluidity of her creative process, and an overarching sense that Kläs was born to be a sculptor.  This visit inside of the artist’s work will not aim to discuss the merits of her sculptural process.  Stepping…
