HOPELESSNESS

Seventeen musical compositions for non-danced choreographic situations published (2020) as a host (Sacramental bread) and downloadable album. 5 different paper colors & 6 different sacred signs. “HOPELESSNESS” was made for “Legítimo / Rezo“, a dance piece conceived by Jone San Martín, Josh Johnson & William Forsythe.

In 2004 Jone San Martín was invited with other choreographers and dancers to make a lecture about choreographic notation at Théâtre de la Ville in Paris (France). Her answer to the question of how to use notation in William Forsythe dance works was to dance her explanation. In this moment, she released the best way to communicate and explain dance is to dance it. Also, during the lecture, Jone San Martin talks about the choreographic material which is vanishing with the dancers who dance the choreography. Once the choreographic material is danced, it disappears.
