Quote for the Week

The dancers interpret, or it might be better to say literally embody, the sounds of the band, answering the instruments. Since everyone is listening to different parts of the music–she to the trumpet melody, he to the bass drum, she to the trombone…..a working model in three dimensions of the music, a synesthetic transformation of materials. – Tom Piazza 

Second-Line Alcide “Slowdrag” Pavageau’s Jazz Funeral. New Orleans 1969
