This blog was used to record the internal process, inquiry and analysis of "Bodies in O", a dance installation that premiered at the Alberta Gallery of Art on November 20, 2010. Gerry Morita, working from the "Oil Series" large scale photographs of Ed Burtynsky, attempted to transform into dance, sound and performance, some of the issues and images relevant to the photos.

Musical side
Shawn has been developing incredible soundscapes that we get to try out this week. Michelle and I visited him on Monday so that she could sing "Dido's Lament" in with his shipbreaking sounds. Frightening! We should get the new version tomorrow to work with Kat and timing of the development. The piece needs more tweaking than I thought (go figure).
I am enjoying Ernest as the voyeur/archivist/reminder that we have to perform eventually. It adds a certain tension to the process, but also makes us go a bit deeper to stay in, I think. He is not obstructive, but there is a constant reminder that a photographer is in the room. At one point, Eryn and David actually adjusted their duet timing to Ernest's clicking sounds.
