When:
10/21,11/18, 12/16 (all the 3rd Monday of the month), 8pm
Marjorie Morgan, movement and sound hyperactivist, and Tom
Plsek, trombone explorer, have worked together regularly and
frequently over the past several years and have become well known in
the Boston performance scene. For the fall season they are trying a
fresh approach to performance. Instead of working over a period of
several months to produce a weekend performance, they are emphasizing
process and development, discarding and reclaiming, by presenting
work at a regular interval, i.e. monthly on Monday evenings. The
series title, and indeed process, comes from the I Ching, a
frequently consulted oracle for the two performers. Gu - Decay and
Restoration is the 18th hexagram and supplies not only the series
title but the title for each evening as well.
The performances at Mobius are: Gu 2: Crossing the Great Stream
(October 21); Gu 3: Remedy (November 18); and Gu 4: Restoration
(December 16). (Note that the first performance, Gu 1: Decay/Ruin,
was held at Berklee College of Music on 9/23.)
(Bios.) Marjorie Morgan, a member of the Mobius Artists Group, is a
performance artist, writer, composer, choreographer and musician. In
addition to her own productions and those with her performance troupe
Not Frida, she has performed in projects with Bill T. Jones and
Robert Davidson, and has danced in the companies of Pooh Kaye, Paula
Josa-Jones, Snappy Productions, Caitlin Corbett and Brian Crabtree.
Boston critics have cited her work as being one of the top ten dance
events in 1996 (Boston Globe), 1998 (Boston Globe), 1999 (Boston
Phoenix) and 2001 (Boston Herald and Bay Windows).
Trombone explorer Tom Plsek has been stretching trombones and our
concepts of them for years. He is Chairman of the Brass Department at
Berklee College of Music in Boston and a member of the Mobius Artists
Group and Not Frida. Tom has performed with such artists as Jerry
Hunt, Malcolm Goldstein, Joseph Jarman, Phil Niblock, the Merce
Cunningham Dance Company, Joe Morris, Marjorie Morgan, and the
Outsider Quartet.
