(re)singing from
the underpsace/premiered
2004
solo; 10 minutes
"in this darkness, 'i'
am not myself.
'i' is no longer
personal;
'i' is collective.
we are (re)singing from underspace we have gone to for so long."
- charles o.
anderson, funky suite: body and soul
inspired by james
baldwin's another country, anderson's solo dance is a work of
memory and history. drawing upon memory images of growing up
in the south, and set to the haunting voice and piano of philip
hamilton, anderson moves beyond conventional associations of black
masculinity and toward possibilities for struggle and intimacy.
the work goes from tension to resolution and back again as it
confronts memory images of power and control.
