Performance

SFU School for the Contemporary Arts

Compound Rite

Now, at a new junction more than a hundred years later, we are rethinking The Rite of Spring (Stravinsky, 1913) – the primitive rituals of pagan Russia that celebrate the advent of spring, of a young girl chosen as a sacrificial victim, who dances herself to death. Compound Rite is a sincere attempt to record and reaffirm the positions of our bodies in the current temporal, ecological, and technological spaces, and to imagine a phenomenon or situation that transcends The Rite of Spring’s themes of fear and dualism, seeking a new spring in a post-metaphysical world. Working with the media of bodily movement and its material extension, nomadic folk dances gravity, intricate choreographic score, sculptural composition, and the theory of spheres, Compound Rite unfolds a performative landscape – liturgical and formal that holds but not restrains. This ongoing project is developed within the course CA326/327 Repertory.
