tiny + rage = love

the mighty Amy O’Neal

tiny + rage = love

From Ten Tiny Dances, performed in Seattle, September 2007. Choreographed and performed by Amy O’Neal, Music by Zeke Keeble.

On a tiny stage in the round Amy O’Neal is my current favorite time-based kinetic sculpture.  As part of One Tiny Dance, this piece was originally performed in the lobby of Pacific Northwest Ballet during their Celebrate Seattle Festival. Amy says, “At that time it was untitled with a slightly more playful energy. There were a lot of kids around me dancing with me while I was performing–it was so great!” The piece took on a new vibe and gained a title at Ten Tiny Dances, “It became about owning my anger and channeling it positively, to move forward . . . . embracing my history as a woman and as a dancer.”
