The WHY Collective

On Sunday, May 9th Antaeus Dance appeared with The Why Collective, one of Cleveland's foremost anarco-dadaist neoclassical free jazz revolutionary electronic crypto mystical open form collaborative arts ensembles. Antaeus Dance has participated in two Why Collective events. The most recent was Blind Alchemy. I have included a video of our performance. Blind Alchemy III. "Blind Alchemy" is composed/performed by Greg D'Alessio (Why Collective guru), Alexander Bonus, Paul Cox, Jenna Lyle and Antaeus Dancers Amy Compton, Joan Meggitt and Sherri Mills. The dancing begins around the five-minute mark. Greg had this to say about the work: "This is a piece built around some improvising Greg, Paul and Alex did, that we will meta -improvise on tot he improvised singing and dancing of Jenna and Antaeus..."

Enjoy!
