Laura Stinger on Brian Getnick and Dorothy Dubrule: COWBOY

LAX Festival

Riting: Laura Stinger on Brian Getnick and Dorothy Dubrule: COWBOY

Brian asked what is dance-theater. Dorothy said google Pina Bausch. They agreed dance theater is typically interested in implanting a theatrical narrative structure into their choreography-some sequence of events involving some characters with some feelings about that chain of events and each other. Brian said “the theater part in this piece (Cowboy) is more like placement of the dance in different realms. Not in a theatrical sense of situating the action in some fictional place outside the room, rather we are sharing in common fiction. We are in the same fiction as the audience instead of suspending disbelief. Maintaining the materiality of dance. Grounding time and space throughout the now.” I asked them if perhaps this common fiction could be the landscape of tropes and clichés surrounding dance and theater.

In advance of the LAX Festival we asked Riting.org to partner with us in profiling the twelve pieces in the festival.

This is a piece that Laura Stinger wrote after she went to a rehearsal of COWBOY, by Dorothy Dubrule with Brian Getnick. COWBOY, opens on October 12th, 2018, at Think Tank Gallery in the Los Angeles Exchange [LAX] Festival and runs again on October 13th and 15th. Details can be found here.

 

Riting is an experiment in writing that engages with performance happening now in Los Angeles. Riting is a ground for encounters between artists, their critical community, and the public they belong to. Riting brings together a multiplicity of bodies and a polyphony of voices. Riting supposes there is no definitive untangling. Riting assumes mutuality of investment in the ecology of performance activity in this city.
