following the flute

Budapest Selections refers to four dances ranging from 6 - 8 minutes each that I performed in March, 2000. The music instruments were primarily flute, electronic sound, piano and voice. I formulated "four requirement"s as a method to approach each composition. The four requirements were: 1) following flute sound on horizontal , 2) following piano on depth, upstage to downstage, 3) gestures establish theme downstage low, and 4) space-hold gestures against the wall as transitions to any of the other three "requirements".

The dances are: Antar Recollections (Saidah Rastam, composer, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), Orpheus Reconsidered, (Greg Bowers, composer) Other Tongues, (Ron Mazurek, composer), In Search of Eurydice (Dinu Ghezzo composer).
