VIDEO and PHOTOS

COFFEE CUP DUET Background brought to the foreground using 'rhythmic filtering'. Rhythmic filtering proportions the major actions into the ratios of the Fibonacci Series. Running time: 12 minutes Recorded in Santa Fe, New Mexico at the Center for Contemporary Art 2013

IMPORTANT NOTE: LISA IS PERFORMING IN REVERSE. THE VIDEO IS NOT IN REVERSE. THE PERFORMER IS. WORK SAMPLE CLIP #2 "Homeland" performed by Lisa Fay. Created by Lisa Fay and Jeff Glassman 'Homeland'. Full Piece Running Time: approx. 15 minutes of a 75-production. Recorded in performance, no editing, at the Center for Contemporary Art in Santa Fe, 2013. This is an example of how we impose structure onto daily-life activity, to arrive at a transformed content. Homeland is an intense solo, in which the concept of “cinematic reverse action” is simultaneously a challenge of performance technique and content construction. As technique, it demonstrates the uncanny connection between the perception of human movement in gravity, and the perception we call “time”. If a person performs denial of gravity, they are viewed as if moving backwards in time, denying time: time is a relation to gravity in movement. No detail is discarded. No shortcuts are taken. The exertion of the performer in accomplishing this feat, reversing the muscular patterns of acceleration of every movement, put her at odds with gravity. A person moving in reverse is less predictable than one moving forward, because we lack the language for describing action backwards. Here, a person returns a room to order, in reverse. The question "what happened in the room?" hovers silently.

‘napse’, Composed, written, choreographed and directed by Lisa Fay performed by Jeff Glassman Live Performance, (excerpt) 1'38" Piece runs 22 minutes. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: ALL THE SOUNDS YOU HEAR ARE BEING PRODUCED LIVE VOCALLY THROUGH A MICROPHONE INSIDE THE MOUTH OF THE PERFORMER DURING THE PERFORMANCE. THE SOUNDS ARE FED THROUGH TWO ORDINARY "BOOMBOX" SPEAKERS PROMINENTLY VISIBLE AS PART OF THE STAGE SET. This is the type of work I will be doing at the Blue Mountain Center. Recursion and reflexivity occur between the eyes and the ears. He lives in the world he creates and creates the world in which he lives. Graphic score for piece attached.
