The audience sits along two walls in Studio 1 at Dovetail Studios for The Quiet Hours. The windows are covered with a cloth, but the mirror is bared. This is the psychological situation of a dance studio—everything beyond its enclosure muted, everything within magnified, everyone within invited to consider the experience of the body in parallel with its surface.
The expressivity of each dancer comes through most clearly in the solo work, often in the simplest movements of a foot or a hand claiming space through emphasis.
