"if…a memoir" is a love song written for humanity. Engaging questions of human freedom alongside human limitations, Sue Schroeder in collaboration with the Dance Artists of Core Dance, Christian Meyer (composer) and Simon Gentry (cinematographer) will create an evening-length, physical theater choreo-poem. Excavated and developed using the artistic research practices of the Tamalpa Life/Art Process® (Anna and Daria Halprin), Ensemble Thinking and voice and movement scores, "if…a memoir" will reveal a performance literature that is bold, straightforward and expressive, timeless in its humor and humanity. This new work will draw from early 1950s Beat Generation culture and influences - questioning, jazz inspired rhythm, improvisational spirit, rejection of standard narrative values and seeming disorganization with a deliberate effect. Without linear plot elements or characters, "if…a memoir" will instead focus on creating an emotional response from and with the stage artists and audience. A product of artistic questioning and a quest for meaning, "if…a memoir" seeks to reveal what binds each of us, one to the other, in beauty, flaws, foibles, vulnerability and what it is to be inherently human.
