Correspondence from Brussels #1
Halprin, Brown, and Burrows Re-Enacted
Thoughts on Enactment and Re-Enactment
“One of the striking things about Parades & Changes is the basic structure of everyone doing the same score at the same time, and the complexity that can come out of this simple structure. This is a structure that I’ve witnessed in other recent works, also, like Deborah Hay’s O, O, and that I experienced in Miguel Gutierrez’s Everyone. I am curious about this contemporary fascination with (and nostalgia for?) utopia-forms and collective action, perhaps a reaction against the sense of collective inaction and impotence that can be felt when faced with big injustices in the world.”
- Daniel Linehan, Critical Correspondence
