Echo Score or VTSDEFR is an improvisational dance work that explores the idea of echo as a means of physical impetus, and investigates how collage might be used as a structural form for crafting a dance improvisation score. Working with the concepts of Mary Overlies and Anne Bogarts Viewpoints, this work asks the dancers to hone their ensemble improvisational skills and to work together to craft a layered, textured composition. Echo Score or VTSDEFR was created in collaboration with the dancers at the Kentucky Governors School for the Arts and premiered at the Singletary Center for the Arts on the campus of the University of Kentucky in July 2023.
