But it's the same with that type of artistic activity as with all others: We are merely born with the capability to do it. The skill to mold the material into what we want must be learned and attentively cultivated. —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe Renowned choreographer Annie B. Parson explores the dance of everyday life and reveals that art-making is as natural as walking down the street In this sparkling, innovative, fully-illustrated work, world-renowned choreographer Parson translates the components of dance - time, proximity, space, motion and tone - into text. As we follow Parson through her days - at home, reading, and on her walks down the street - and in and out of conversations on everything from Homer's Odyssey to feminist art to social protest, she helps us see how everyday movement creates the wider world. Dance, it turns out, is everything and everywhere. With the insight and verve of a soloist, Parson shows us how art-making is a part of our everyday lives and our political life as we move, together and apart, through space

To Annie-B Parson, choreography isn't confined to the studio and the stage; rather, practically everything around us abounds with movement that's worth paying attention to. In her new, aptly titled book, The Choreography of Everyday Life, an inventive, observant, and witty ode to her relationship with dance and movement over the course of her lifetime, she delves into exactly that belief. Across the past 30-plus years with Big Dance Theater, which she co-founded in 1991, her work has amounted to more than 20 choreographed and co-created works. As a whole, her inventive oeuvre extends in seemingly infinite directions: opera, pop music, television, movies, ballet, marching bands, symphonies. A frequent and close collaborator with the legendary David Byrne, Parson has choreographed two of his world tours, and most recently, his highly acclaimed broadway hit American Utopia. The eclecticness of Parson's body of work is rivaled only by that of her choreographic style, which finds inspiration in everything from traditional ballet, to Russian folk dances, to pedestrians on the sidewalk. A meticulous attentiveness and a whimsical ingenuity are the hallmarks of everything she does.On this episode, Parson speaks with Andrew about how the pandemic has altered our understanding of the ways our bodies relate to one another, why she considers TikTok a new kind of folk dance, and choreography as a means of controlling and testing time.Special thanks to our Season 6 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Annie-B Parson[05:19] The Choreography of Everyday Life[36:15] Big Dance Theater Company[29:27] Paul Lazar[09:30] Previous books[49:37] The Mood Room[55:15] American Utopia[55:20] Here Lies Love[55:51] Everything That Happens Will Happen Today

She’s choreographed for everyone from Mikhail Baryshnikov to David Byrne. So where does she get her ideas? “I always loved this quote by Rousseau; he said, ‘My mind only works with my legs.’ Me too! When I am a stuck, I just take a walk, and something unlatches.” Movement creates thought; thought creates movement.

Drawing the Surface of Dance: A Biography in Charts (Wesleyan UP, 2019) collects thirty years of “charts” by renowned choreographer and co-founder of Big Dance Theater Annie-B Parson. These charts serve as an archive of the ephemeral work of choreography. They include charts of favorite verbs, charts of props, a “chart of things rectangular, ” and a recreation of deck of cards for composition modeled after Mexican lottery cards. The drawings included in this book are like Parson’s dances themselves: idiosyncratic, funny, loving, vibrant, and detailed. They manifest what Parson calls her “magpie” approach to composition, drawing from paintings, films, gravestones, and classical ballet to create an aesthetic all her own. This is a book that will be of interest to students and practitioners of theatre and dance, but also to people who like beautiful drawings of strange things.

Friday Reading Series Sarah Rodigari creates performances that address economies of exchange pertaining to socio-political engagement, shared authorship and new institutional critique. Her projects take the form of lecture, text, video and collaborations. She recently published a chapter on performance art, and sympathetic magic for the publication Travel and Transformation and co-edited the book Going Down, an anthology of contemporary Sydney performance. Rodigari has presented work at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Melbourne International Arts Festival (Australia), South Project (Indonesia), PACT Zollverein (Germany), Centre for Contemporary Art Glasgow, The National Review of Live Art (UK), Anti-Contemporary Arts Festival (Finland), and SOMA (Mexico). She is currently a PhD candidate in Creative Art at the University of Wollongong and a founding member of the collective Field Theory. In an ongoing fascination with form, choreographer Annie-B Parson decided to “choreograph” the language of the naturalistic film script: Terms of Endearment. To do this she studied poetic forms, and then attacked the screenplay with such weaponry as trochees, spondees, tetrameters and pantouns. This became the stylistic hub of the text for Big Dance Theater's 2014 piece, Alan Smithee Directed This Play: Triple Feature. On May 1, Parson will attempt to reconstruct the poetics she applied to the text, and read some of the results. Parson is the co-artistic director of Big Dance. She also makes dance for pop music (David Byrne; St. Vincent); opera (Nico Muhly), film and theater. She has a work in the repertory of The Martha Graham Co., and is creating a solo for ballerina Wendy Whelan. Her awards include: Olivier nomination, Guggenheim Fellowship, Doris Duke Artist Award; USA Artist Award/Ford Fellow; Foundation for Contemporary Art Award; The Jacob's Pillow Award; Lucille Lortel nominations; Bessie Award; OBIE Award.
