THE FLIP QUARTET - 7.17.09 - 7:30 PM
|
The Flip Quartet is a composition for four improvisers made by Polly Moller. In it, performers explore the four cardinal directions (north/east/south/west) and their medieval elemental correspondences (earth/air/fire/water) with objects, instruments, and text chosen by the improvisers following guidelines in the score.
The audience is seated inside the perimeter of the improvisation, and the performers circle around them, raising energy and creating elemental harmony in the space. The audience should watch out for the "flip" element in The Flip Quartet: the act of flipping over timers provides duration markers for the improvisation, and the players are encouraged to flip over anything they can during the performance.
