This score could be assembled and disassembled by the dancers in response to the physical space and the live music. It was inspired by Diane Ackerman&#8217;s &#8216;A Natural History of the Senses&#8217; and Slater&#8217;s ongoing interest in site-specific work. &#8220;I&#8217;m a big fan of public art and believe it makes dance more comprehensible to the general public.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ijOjGza0jy8?rel=0\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Slater&#8217;s creativity was sparked by the dancers, by the music and by the beautiful space. Community members stopped to watch the unusual sight, some of them engaging in the performance space. &#8220;Some came in and sat in chairs or on the floor, many just slowed way down as they walked by, trying not to be intrusive but being drawn to watch, some leaned in against the glass so they could see better. It was great seeing grown ups look like little kids.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 543px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3931\" alt=\"dsdt\" src=\"http:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dsdt.jpg\" width=\"533\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dsdt.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dsdt-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dsdt-120x79.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dsdt-480x319.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo: Tim Ison<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This is DSDT&#8217;s second year participating in dance anywhere<span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">\u00ae<\/span>. &#8220;I think it is a brilliant idea.
