(2011) October 21   Three sections from Collision Course – a.k.a. Pillow Talk  (Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3) performed October 21, 2011 at Artisphere, a large museum and performance center in Arlington, Virginia. The Dome Theatre features a full size film curved screen (60′  high) with a curved stage for performing. For this presentation, a streaming process of exchange took place “live” with poet/philosopher, Alex Caldiero, in Salt Lake City who was stream of consciousness writing text about love. His text was projected as a backdrop on the “Dome” high and wide curved white amphitheatre wall  behind the dancers parallelling the amphitheatre  seating for the audience.

It was very exciting to have a very large sold out house in the amphitheatre for this humerous but daring subject of intimate, sometimes controlling, interaction of three people dancing about relationship.

The three episodes are different but connected by the physical relationships implied by featuring the bed pillow.  The larger stage production including visual projections and other interferences may have distracted from the intimacy of the three dancers without any other theatrical distractions.  These episodes are from the early part of the evening length work Collision Course – a.k.a. Pillow Talk and contain the most obvious and connected meaning.
