Untitled improvised solo
Performed by Orla Collier
Untitled improvised solo is a structured improvisation piece. I read out a quote taken from The Red Book by Carl Jung, scrunch up the paper, and then move. This structure is repeated three times. The quotes glimpse at a story and are emotionally charged. The aim is to "forget" about what I have just read and to move by impulse, if that is possible.
'In the following night, the air was filled with many voices. A loud voice called, 'I am falling'. Others cried out confused and excited during this, 'where to?', 'what do you want?'. Should I entrust myself to this confusion. I shuddered. It is a dreadful deep.'
'Do you still know me?'
'Every step closer to my soul excites the scornful laughter of my devils. Those cowardly ear whisperers, and poison mixers. It was easy for them to laugh, since I had to do strange things.'
