:03 minute portions | mfa performance
n the role of curator/producer, Robin has designed and implemented a new site-specific dance series that has been held in conjunction with Gallery Hop, one of the Columbus's most vibrant artistic events, held monthly in the Short North neighborhood. Titled :03 Minute Portions, each of three performances in the series incorporates short dances of five choreographers drawn from Ohio State students and faculty as well as members of the professional dance community. All participating choreographers show excerpts of dance works that will be performed in full at performance locations throughout Columbus in the months following their participation in :03 Minute Portions.
The primary component of Robin's research has been developing techniques to assist audience members in interpreting dance, an area of audience development that is not often addressed. In :03 Minute Portions, video segments comprised of interviews with the choreographers and video footage from rehearsals, are screened that serve to provide a context for audience members to interpret the live dance that follows. In creating :03 Minute Portions Robin has sought to facilitate an intimate exchange between performers and audience members that moves audience members to reflect upon how dance can impact their lives and furthermore, encourages them to engage in and support the field of dance in the future.
