\u201cSoil\u201d, performed October 4th\u00a0\u201312th, explored elements of Paufve\u2019s personal experience with aging and self- transformation. Paufve thought of soil as a metaphor for this personal journey. She said, \u201cSoil is the most natural thing in the world…I felt there needed to be some\u00a0dirt\u00a0in the piece\u201d.<\/p>\n
Starting at sunset in front of windows that looked towards the San Francisco Bay, \u201cSoil\u201d progressed in a circle through the church. Paufve said \u201cThe space really gave itself as a gift to us. I danced with the space\u201d.\u00a0 Her process of choreographing for this space was \u201cmostly trial and error”. She would try something and see if it felt right in the space and in the dance as a whole.<\/p>\n

Paufve said \u201cI am very specific about my site-specific work. I work in a space for months, even years, creating something for the space\u201d. Because of her interest in site-specific work, Paufve has participated in dance anywhere several times. One of her favorite experiences with dance anywhere, was participating in 2009 when she performed a duet in the lobby of the SF MOMA. While this piece was originally created as a site-specific outdoor work at UC Davis, Paufve wanted to experience the piece against an alternate backdrop. She said, \u201cThe space was very black, white and charcoal. Visually I saw the idea of a couple\u2019s drama against these black and grey hues. I just felt that the concept of the dance leant itself to this marbly space\u201d. Paufve looks forward to participating in dance anywhere again.<\/p>\n

Paufve intends to continue exploring site-specific venues.\u00a0Over the next few months she will re-stage \u201cSoil\u201d in alternate locations, and also to fuse the piece into a new evening of work with her company,\u00a0Paufve Dance. Stay tuned for details on her upcoming performances. \u201cThe space is a spiritual space…It just called for a dance,\u201d says Randee Paufve on her recent site specific work, “Soil.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":2125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[572,79,573,574],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2104"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/64"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2104"}],"version-history":[{"count":23,"href":"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2104\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2109,"href":"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2104\/revisions\/2109"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
