Return
Just remain in the center, watching, And then forget that you are there. Lao-Tzu.
This piece, composed by David Wolfson and Choreographed by Experience Bryon was created in collaboration with artists in training
on the subject of the Integrative Performance Practice and the personal journey of the artists during the workshop. It speaks
to the challenges of remaining present and centered in our current social, political and artistic constructs. It was premiered
at the Embassy Studio, Eton Avenue, London

Edge
This is EVDC's first piece with guest choreographer, Lynn Wichen. Edge I (1992) was inspired by the life and poetry of Sylvia
Plath, especially the creative outpouring which preceded her death. It was created as part of the Bessie Schönberg Workshop
for Advanced Choreography, Spring 1992. The two dancers represent two aspects of a disintegrating psyche. Edge II seeks to
combine the same themes from Ms. Plath's evocative and fragmented poetry with the Integrative Performance Practice. To that
end, composer/EVDC music director David Wolfson has set Ms. Plath's final poem -also titled"Edge"- to music. Musically,
Edge II is an a capella duet for two sopranos. Original costumes are by George Hudacko.

Atlantis
Composer David Wolfson: As EVDC's music director, I have been attending the company's conditioning sessions and workshops
since they began about a year ago. When Experience asked me to compose a piece for the company, I thus found myself in the
enviable position of having an intimate knowledge of the possibilities of the Vocal Dance technique. Atlantis, as music, asks
simply for clean, expressive bel canto singing on an open vowel, with no textual distractions from the sheer sensual experience
of movement and sound together.

Nin
Nin inspired by the text of Little Birds by Anais Nin, among others, is originally a fluid large ensemble piece, featuring
strings, percussion and voice. In it currents treatment, as a composition for the combination of voice, bass, and visceral
moments of physicality, the challenge is to write not for the overt, or heard, but the subliminal. Nin speaks to the moments
of consensual and non-consensual intimacy that reside in minds eye of the voyeur that turns desire upon self.
