patience (2002-2004)

Setting an entirely different tone, Amy Voris’ sophisticated solo Patience engaged the eye, triggered the imagination, and had laugh-out-loud moments too. Seeming to morph into different creatures at different moments, her physique was animalistic in describing very human emotions in a thorough exploration of different types of patience (and impatience). Using sparse but effective lighting, an ambient Warp-ish electro soundscore (Jim O’Rourke/Matmos) and dressed in a simple top and trousers, the choreography stood alone.
