Still Life by director/choreographer/dancer Morgan Thorson uses extinction as source material for a dance installation. Taking this subject from a scientific reality, collapsing what is real and imagined, Still Life advances new methods for creation and performance. The dancer, a-body-in-life, will practice/perform with totality, living a small death when drafting ideas of decay, stillness, and the loss of verticality. The choreography, a dance/time cycle, erases material each time it is repeated. A sonic clock, layered with original and found sound, times out when the dance disappears.
