In Memory of Little Things

An extended examination of Spanish choreographer and performance artist La Ribot’s performance piece Panoramix. Working through a series of fragmented responses this essay grapples with the re-figuration of dance through writing and with the meanings of La Ribot’s accumulation of small ‘distinguished pieces’ into a long durational performance. The essay deals with the artist’s use of bareness and relations between bodies and objects to explore the resonances of the physical experiences of memory and time.

In Memory of Little Things is published in English and French in La Ribot, Merz and Centre National De La Danse, 2004, ISBN 2 914124-25-2.
