crow's nest / solitary geography
an intermedia performance installation
by judson dance theatre's Elaine Summers 
a historic recreation of an original work from 1979
performed by Alissa Cardone, Ingrid Schatz and DeAnna Pellecchia, among others 

CROW'S NEST / SOLITARY GEOGRAPHY, an intermedia performance installation was originally created in 1979 for the Guggenheim Museum (New York) by legendary Judson Dance Theatre choreographer/filmmaker Elaine Summers. CROW'S NEST / SOLITARY GEOGRAPHY synthesizes landscape film images with improvisational choreography involving the audience in a discovery of the body's geography and its relation to the natural geography of landscape. The performers interact with and within the geographic spaces created by projected images of rural landscapes filmed around the United States. This project has been re-invented multiple times by a diverse cast of dancers, musicians and sculptors including Min Tanaka, Suzushi Hanayagi (dancers); Pauline Oliveros, Jon Gibson (composers); and Pepon Osorio (sculptor). Orchestrated by Kinodance Company in collaboration with Ms. Summers, the Boston re-creation premiered on May 1st, 2005, and featured a shifting line-up of local musicians and dancers including Alissa Cardone, Ingrid Schatz, DeAnna Pellecchia, Debra Bluth, Deborah Butler, Liz Ronka and Laura Quattrocchi. Original sound compositions accompanied, conducted by United States of Belt.
