"FROM THE WOODS

It all started in a barn. Two choreographers and a composer experimented with living in the present moment, becoming one with the space, absorbing the influence of the wooden structure with no desire to put together a dance piece. Their mysterious performance clearly reflects that experiment. Dissolving into an immaculate décor, Tedd Robinson and Ame Henderson perform balancing acts with sticks, birch logs and small Buddhas. Nothing bothers them, neither the sound dance of Charles Quevillon that assails the space, nor a silence rife with foliage and imposing branches. Against all expectations, bit by bit their meditations in movement construct a landscape where myriad images and sensations flourish.

An unconventional proposal, Room with Sticks makes art the instrument of a ritual that liberates artists and spectators from the demands of physical or intellectual performance. A long Zen poem that, by means of almost nothing, opens wide the realm of possibility."
