“AS ALWAYS WITH DENNIS IT IS A DANCE NOT DANCED Before, A DANCE WITH POTENT INDIVIDUALITY...This is a poignant piece which lingers but never drowns in saccharin, saved from a too, too sweetness by the poetry of repetition and rhythm, by Dennis’ unique movement style, by performative simplicity and by the sparse but stark palette of colours.” RealTime 95 The first in a series of making a public performance during a 2-week research and development period. During this 2-week residency I will research, photograph, record and write about public declarations of love. These declarations may come in the form of desperate scrawls on the wall, facebook break-up announcements, talkback radio marriage proposals, sky writing propositions to the wedding spread in the Sunday paper. I'm interested in what motivates people to declare their heart-wrenching, heart-felt, heart-breaking, heart-warming love for another person in the public domain. Writer/Performer: Rosie Dennis This work has been commissioned by Campbelltown Arts Centre's 2009 Dance Program and will be presented as part of What I Think When I Think About Dancing.
