PRIVATE / IN PUBLIC

PLACE DES ARTS

SPRINGBOARD DANSE MONTREAL

MONTREAL 2016

​

Co-created & performed by Jermaine Spivey & Spenser Theberge

Music by Chopin

​

'Private in Public' was presented in 2016 at Place des Arts in Montreal as a part of the Emerging Platform of Springboard Danse Montreal.  The duet is a structured improvisation, aiming to display privacy in a public place.  The performers are creating in real time, an intimate act, while being watched.  This puts the audience in a voyeuristic position, causing them to wonder if they should be seeing this or not.  

 

'Private in Public' was the seed for the evening length creation, 'Rather This, Then'.
