Choreography, a Prologue for the Apocalypse of Understanding, Get Ready! (2009)
DD Dorvillier / Zeena Parkins / Thomas Dunn
Choreography, a Prologue for the Apocalypse of Understanding, Get Ready! is a suite of three related but distinct parts that address notions of communication and implied politics of understanding. CPAU, Get Ready! superimposes objective and experiential modes of cognition and communication and re-orders these perceptual hierarchies in unusual and often humorous ways. Featuring music by composer Zeena Parkins, lighting design by Thomas Dunn, and texts and choreography by DD Dorvillier in collaboration with Heather Kravas, Amanda Piña, Joaquim Pujol, and Elizabeth Ward.
