about
Studio (2000)
Michael Oesterle was born in Germany, immigrated to Canada in the 1980’s, and studied at the University of British Columbia and Princeton University. He writes, “Studio was written in 2000 to be part of a collaborative dance project. The idea was for a single dancer to be on stage with a cellist, and for the choreography to confine the dancer's performance within a small square space. The music reflects that confinement with a series of repeated modules, many of which are palindromes, functioning like a labyrinth with dead ends and hidden pathways. The cellist and dancer are both trying to break free from their constraints only to find themselves looping back to the beginning of the piece.”
Interpretation is not the art of construing but the art of constructing. Interpreters do not decode poems, they make them.
