Philadelphia premier of Deborah Hay's "I Think Not" (Bindler adaptation) May 11th - 13th

Hello contact improv lovers!

I want to invite you to the Philadelphia Premier of my adaptation of Deborah Hay's "I Think Not." Deborah Hay worked closely with Steve Paxton, the creator of Contact Improvisation. They danced together in the 60's and Deborah has said that she believes Steve's development of CI in the 70's was out of a desire to re-experience the wild times they had dancing at parties in the 60's when they threw themselves at each other, literally!

So please come see a bit of experimental dance history as it manifests in my body, this weekend!

Hope to see you there :)

-Nicole

Follow this link for a preview of Nicole Bindler's adaptation of Deborah Hay's I Think Not.

I Think Not, Choreographed by Judson era luminary Deborah Hay, adapted and performed by Nicole Bindler, is an intimate solo performed in the round. The dance was taught to Bindler in Findhorn Scotland in 2011 as a part of Hay’s Solo Performance Commissioning Project where 20 international dance artists were coached by Hay on their performance of the dance for 10 days. Bindler committed to practicing the performance of the dance daily for three months before performing it. Through the daily practice the dance has been adapted by Bindler and has become infused with her own choices and aesthetics. The immersion and rigor of this practice has yielded a fully realized and deeply researched dance.

Plus new work by Pima Group: Broken Wings

And a large ensemble work by Bindler: Pia Mater
