Workwithinwork, by William Forsythe, refers to the choreographer’s method in considering a new work as an excerpt from a long process of work. Forsythe, in his choreography, creates a continuous flow of movements from variations of classic technique, without breakage or distended articulations, with reference to the past and at the same time, updating it. The music, a work for two violins by Luciano Berio performed in small snippets, creates impulses to the unfolding of duets in trios, quartets and ensembles. The work is constantly evolving within itself, creating new settings for the scene. This is the second choreography by Forsythe restaged by SPCD.
