Organised Improvisation

Kiosque (à côté de la Chalet) Parc de la Garenne

Nérac, France

2019

​

As part of a four week residency at Studio Faire in Nérac, France, Duffy worked with two professional dancers, Chloé Hernandez and Orin Camus. Inspired by the work of dancer, choreographer, teacher and artist Margaret Morris the work looked to take cue from the Margaret Morris Movement (MMM) technique of movement as well as her diagrams and illustrations for her notations of dance. 

​

Research into Morris as well as Duffy's own background in the Korean martial art Tang Soo Do, formed the basis for a performance which took place in Kiosque (à côté de la Chalet) Parc de la Garenne. Responding to a design based on the childhood game of Hopscotch, the two dancers along with their son improvised a piece of dance in response to the floor design.
