Ode to Dolly, the sheep, inter alia is about cloning and the human tendency to create things in the likeness of ourselves and becoming all tangled up and confused in the process. Inspired by the physiological processes of fascia –the connective tissue that organizes our musculoskeletal system, large strips of elastic wrap both the dancers and the stage space. A “dance installation”, elastics and artificial baby parts are stretched to create geometric grids, tangled canopies, and sculpturesque forms. Ode to Dolly explores our instinctual reproductive behaviors as it interfaces with artificial ideas of creation.

Choreography/Installation by Deborah Jinza Thayer with music composed by Bush fellow, Matthew Smith. Costumes by Lisa Axell, set design by Bryan Axell/3 Ring Scenic and puppetry by Deirdre Murnane. Dancers include Rachel Barnes, Sarah Jacobs, Penelope Freeh, Christine Maginnis, Kimberly Richardson, and Sharon Picasso.

La Rumeur

French Hip Hop Crew La Rumeur performs live at the Triple Rock. Minneapolis MN. 2008

La Rumeur, one of the leading French underground rap groups, emerged in 1997 from Elancourt, a suburb south of Paris. Before issuing their first full-length debut record, MCs Ekoué, Hamé, Mourad, and Philippe (all graduates of French universities) distributed independent solo singles at their shows: “Le Poison d’Avril” (1997), “Le Franc Tireur” (1998), and “Le Bavar” and “Le Paria” (1999). Following these singles, their fan base grew quickly and then came their first group album, “L’ombre sur la mesure” (EMI, 2002). The record was an homage to the immigrant experiences of their parents’ generation, focusing on the Paris massacre of Algerians in 1961, and on the high rate of police abuse of immigrants. One group member, Hamé, was taken to court by the Interior Minister in 2002 for a magazine article accompanying the release of that first album, with its mention of police crimes. The next album, “Regain de Tension,” was released in 2004 after the Interior Ministry had failed to silence the group. That brave Interior Minister who took on Hamé was one Nicolas Sarkozy, now President of France. They say “singing a song for 500 people is writing 500 songs.” The name of group (the rumor) speaks for itself.
