    On Sept. 10, 2005 we (Holt and Austin) were flying home from Findhorn, Scotland, having spent 11 days with 19 other choreographer/performers from 11 countries, all participants in Deborah Hay’s Solo Performance Commissioning Project. All 20 of us had commissioned the same solo dance from Deborah, who guided and coached us during the residency period. We left Findhorn with the beginnings of our own adaptation of Room and with a contractual agreement to the daily practice of Room for at least three months before our first public performance. Room engages the performer in several questions that challenge and excite our perceptual and physical limitations. A mischievous sense of play interacts with a sense of the “darker side” of our present political moment. Whether we are aligning our bodies with the harmonious energy of the circular playing area or disturbing it, Room resolutely questions recognizable dance vocabularies, developing an aesthetic sense of its own.
