About Frame Dance
In 2010 Lydia Polhemus Hance founded Frame Dance Productions, a contemporary dance company, to connect Houston’s vibrant art community to the Web 2.0 social networking infrastructure, an emerging, media-rich forum for new creative expression. Frame is dedicated to creating innovative and vulnerable works anywhere dance can be viewed. Presenting repertory that is diverse, Frame commits to new collaboration with artists of other disciplines to broaden the scope of dance and bring it to a global audience through technology. This is our blog, where all the most up-to-date info is. We have several columns, and we post pictures, videos and rehearsal updates. Please visit our website, framedance.org, for more official info.
At framedance.org, you can view many of our dance-for-camera works.
Hello. My name is Marlita Hill and I am the curator of The Choreography Clinic, a dialogue among dance makers about making dance (http://choreoclinic.com). I came across your blog and just wanted to reach out and introduce myself. I enjoyed reading your work about choreographic process and I wanted to invite you visit our blog and join the conversations.
Our conversations have been pondering such questions as:
- In translating your inspirations into movement, have you found any limitations in movement’s ability to fully realize what you’re attempting to communicate? Or, have you felt that as a choreographer you were limited in your ability to access movement that fully realized your inspiration? How did you manage that hurdle?
- For you, what role/s does the beginning play in a piece? More specifically, how have you employed beginnings in relation the rest of your work (i.e. to frame, to present, to juxtapose, contextualize, clarify, foreshadow, etc)?
- As choreographers, much of our middle content is about variation and development. In this process, new directional possibilities arise for the work. When faced with these new possibilities, what considerations have helped you decide whether to continue the dance on its original path, or venture down a newly presented path?
These are just a few of the questions choreographers are reflecting on. We also have a growing list of video interviews of choreographers about their processes. I invite you to read the reflections, comment on the them, and even contribute your own.
I look forward to reading more of your work and hopefully connecting with you.
