Rosemary Butcher - Festival of Minatures: Dialogue with Lucinda - Radical Courses/Interior DramaSince the mid-seventies, Rosemary Butcher has been the UK's most consistently radical and innovative choreographer, developing her own movement language and choreographic form. Through her determination to remain an independent artist, her use of cross arts collaboration within the choreographic process and her frequent choice of non-theatrical spaces to present her work, she has changed the direction of British contemporary dance. An evening of two dances By Nicole Beutler. Based on 1 Radial Courses (1976) 2 Interior Drama (1977) by Lucinda Childs. Fascinated by the radical and deceptively simple minimalism of Lucinda Childs' early work, Beutler chose to remake two of her silent dance pieces, Radial Courses (1976) and Interior Drama (1977), setting the latter to a specially composed work by Gary Shepherd. The underlying choreographic scores are captivating and indecipherably complex. Radial Courses is based on three movement sequences in a constantly shifting, circulatory composition. In Interior Drama five dancers conform to an apparently perfect system, moving in repetitive and hallucinatory patterns. Childs describes her own work as an 'intense experience of intense looking and listening'. Beutler's reinterpretations centre on the individual dancer's efforts and responsibilities within the group patterns, revealing parallel realities and the ritualistic qualities of both dances. Nicole Beutler focuses unwaveringly on the person behind the performer, using musicality and subtle humour to draw in the spectator. She uses an articulate sense of detail to create minimal and highly visual works.
