TRUST
10 Gates Dancing
In TRUST, Tedd Robinson joins with long-time collaborator, composer/performer Charles Quevillon, to co-create an exploration of that which binds us. The work grows from an assured reliance on the belief that performers and audience have arrived here together after a series of decisions and discussions, with the mutual aim of exchange.
TRUST
A REQUIEM FOR WOOD AND STONE
A primitive mystery of vulnerability and transformation.
When the wooden man starts to sing,
The stone woman gets up to dance.
Dongshan Liangjie (circa 850 c.e.)
