"<span style="font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In the interactive performance R</span><i style="font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">emote Interruptions</i><span style="font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">, the choreographer gives the the dancers intermittent directions for site-specific improvisations via walkie talkies. While the choreographer watches from a distance, the piece is shaped by observations of other occurrences in the scene, including the nature of the environment itself and mild interactions with pedestrians. The choreographer’s verbal direction is a vague stream of consciousness in direct response to the choices the dancers make, providing them with alternating comments of judgement and/or encouragement. Occasionally, the dancers incorporate phrase work learned in advance, which provides moments of unexpected clarity and unison."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">In "changing sides" four dancers manipulate a set of large, light weight photo cubes whose many sides feature images* from performances at various venues. The objects are rolled like giant dice and the resulting random combination of photos trigger visceral emotional and muscle memories from the performers who physicalize their reactions within a combination of structured improvisation and set phrase work. In this traveling installation, the dancers operate as if in a different dimension while reconstituting choreography from these fragmented images. They gently invite the audience to enter into this surreal world through non-verbal communication and with a secondary smaller set of photo cubes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The photo cube concept was first incorporated into a RETTOCAMME site-specific installation in 2012 at United Photo Industries in DUMBO, Brooklyn.

All have been cropped to a square format by Emma Cotter, but are otherwise unedited. Photographers include: Carla Coria, Emma Cotter, Robert Fournier, John Frame, Robert Gorski, Elisa LaBelle, Michael Reck, and Ryan Roth. Additional collaborators, whose influence is evident in many of the images, include Amanda Miller (wigs/hair/make-up), Polina Roytman (costumes), and Andy Dickerson (lighting design). Dancers featured in the photographs in this particular set of cubes include: Emily Berry, Marcia Brooks, Elizabeth Douglas, Meghan Frank, Elisa LaBelle, Kimberly Braton Lantz, Aaron Singer, and Rebecca Whitehurst. </span></div>

Just finished this challenging impressionist landscape bottle cap tapestry. Commissioned by a couple to commemorate their 25 years of marriage and the five States they have lived in together, I was asked to use primarily bottle caps from MI, CT, NY, NC, and PA. The landscape itself was inspired by views of North Carolina's <a href="http://www.ncmst.org/" target="_blank">Mountain-to-Sea Trail</a> - I used photos that had been posted to their website's <a href="http://www.ncmst.org/the-trail/interactive-map/" target="_blank">interactive map</a> for reference.<br />
<br />
I ended up using well over 50 varieties of bottle caps - probably about 75% from the States that had been requested. I have not altered the existing colors in any manner.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After filling an entire sketchbook, I began experimenting with cutting similar drawings out and creating small hanging paper sculptures. I found these pieces could be drastically altered by lighting and therefore difficult to truly capture. Here is one of my first such creations, back lit by natural light on the left and front lit by artificial light on the right:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next I began to explore motion possibilities in order to fully take advantage of changing light and shadow angles. I used combinations of wire, thread, and fishing line to suspend elements, balancing them with various found objects such as bottle caps and small tree branches. Being very light weight, they are gently put into motion by cross breezes or persons moving nearby, and can be more steadily controlled by a strategically placed fan. To date, I have completed about one dozen structurally diverse mobiles and find them as difficult to document as dance pieces. This short video montage is an attempt to convey how I personally experience them.

Last weekend, RETTOCAMME returned to the <a href="http://garnerartscenter.org/" target="_blank">GARNER Arts Festival</a> for the third time (previous appearances in 2010 and 2011) at the invitation of curator Jonathan Shorr.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On both days of the festival RETTOCAMME presented "a green flash fades" for the first time. This piece, choreographed for three dancers and a bottle cap tapestry, is designed to adapt to a variety of indoor and outdoor locations. Structured improvisations allow for immediate reactions to changes of scenery or audience reactions/involvement that contrast with moments of simple, repetitive, dance phrase work performed in a series of revolving solos and duets. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The GARNER Arts Center is part of an historic 19th century textile mill and many of the exhibitions and installations at the festival this year specifically involved the use of textiles in both traditional and non-traditional forms. In their performances at various locations around the site, the RETTOCAMME performers focused on imagery of women working in factories both past and present, i.e. pride in one's work, sisterly bonds in the workplace, desires/fantasies of an another life. </div>

I have always admired Emily for being extremely engaged in her community - dance and otherwise - so she seemed like the perfect person to physically share the concept with first! </span></span></div>

<a href="http://www.rettocame.com/" target="_blank">RETTOCAMME</a> is a dance/art/design company founded by Emma Cotter in 2003 (formally incorporated in 2010). The first documented performance was a "Fielday" at the Brooklyn Lyceum in October of 2003. Dance-based works by RETTOCAMME are self-produced by income from art and design projects such as postcard design, event invitations, custom holiday cards, commissioned artworks (including bottle cap tapestries), and various items available via <a href="http://www.rettocamme.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a>.<br />
<br />
Endless thanks to the dozens of dancers, musicians, photographers, designer/collaborators, artistic/production advisers, and an equally creative and entertaining audience, who have contributed to the first ten years of RETTOCAMME.<br />

So grateful for their bold choice to commission an original artwork and to contribute to the creative process of the design! I also would not have been able to find the wide array of colors I needed for the project without the help of my worldwide network of family and friends. 1,877 beverages were consumed in the process - I hope they were all enjoyed in moments of refreshment, celebration or great conversation.<br />

Last night we wrapped up the fifth installment of The RETTOCAMME February Project. This year we presented the event at <a href="http://www.shapeshifterlab.com/" target="_blank">Shapeshifter Lab</a> in Gowanus, Brooklyn - an awesome venue that doubles as a recording studio during the day. Aesthetically the space was a cross between our previous venues: the intimate black box of Triskelion Arts in Williamsburg and the stark white gallery of United Photo Industries in DUMBO. It worked very well for us and the staff were most helpful. One of the highlights of the evening was a 3-dimensional score composed by Jordan McLean (Antibalas, Sway Machinery, DROID) - beautifully rendered live by musicians Luke Damrosch and Ronald Stockwell with synth and percussion sounds. We are most grateful to our loyal audience for trekking out to see our experimental work on such a cold, wet evening!<br />
