Formal and stark, "3 Dancers, 4 Chairs, 26 Words" unravels the language of movement, symbols and words. Growing out of just 26 words, the piece asks if a dance with text can retain the open and direct nature of pure movement. Can words be abstract? How do choreographic structures change sentences and sounds? How does grammar affect movement? How do words move? Finally, what are those aspects of human experience that cannot be pinned down and named?
