This PDF, formated by Sarah Pritchard, was a compilation of some of the research that came out of phases of Relay. It was offered as part as the culminating project.
Relay was a three-year dance poetry project, initiated in late 2011, that produced a series of experimental performative events in the Bay Area. First a purely a self-directed solo (sparked by my utter joy in reading Mei-Mei Bersenbrugge’s collaborative poem with artist Kiki Smith, Concordance) Relay called in inspiration, feedback, and dramaturgical counsel and conversation from others. Margit developed a approach for transduction, translating lived experiences into visual art and dance. Margit took walks with twenty-five artists, with whom we mapped out adventures, all recorded, and used the content and tones of these walks to transduce into movement experiments.
The project culminated in tours in Southern California and Seattle, along with a whole series of events in the Bay Area.
