a bit of history

In one of the first incarnations of collectivestatic performance, 'OhMeOhMy' was a dance created in silence, then set together with an original score on the harp. we generated two separate entities, movement and sound, and performed them as a shifting and spontaneous relationship. awesomely, some 800 college students witnessed this happening amidst a lineup of serious booty-shaking and 'sexy' dancing, along with a few other group who challenged these structures in their own way. the result in the house was a hush at the sight of the harp as it made its way to the corner of the stage, a rustle when the audience realized the live music was making its way though the auditorium, a silence as the bodies, too, began making noise, and, finally, a much needed communal giggle as the dance took shape and didn't take itself too seriously.
