EVENT THREE – ELEANOR VONNE BROWN
Friday 21st May

10 Gypsy Dances
written by Eleanor Vonne Brown, informed by Pablo Bronstein

10 dances were originally choreographed on a sheet of paper by Pablo Bronstein to be performed by a variety of performers. The choreographies are both temporal instructions, spatial diagrams; looking at the page acts as if one were looking down at a dance floor. These pages are then passed to Eleanor Vonne Brown who turns them into both readable instructions for performing the dances and concrete poetry simultaneously.
For this event the instructions are translated again and performed by a dance collective (in this case the audience) to produce a piece of performance poetry, or 3D visual poem, an abstract exercise in translation and of reading/performing texts in parallel.

10 Gypsy Dances can be read online here and will be available as a dance aid on the evening.
