"Nottthing Is Importanttt" This suite of three conditions - nine bodies, a movie, and a darkness and sound installation, by American choreographer DD Dorvillier, created in collaboration with Composer Zeena Parkins, and Lighting Designer Thomas Dunn, plays with questions about the value of the visible and the construction of the imaginary. "When we performed the European Premiere of Nottthing Is Importanttt at ImPulsTanz, in August 2008 the piece involved a non-narrative movie featuring two familiar but unrelated icons of American folklore. Just before the movie, a stream of actions was performed by a group of nine intensely focused dancers. The movie's soundscore fractured and connected the space between looking and listening. When the movie was over, we brought the audience into a new environment, where the performers continued their tasks in darkness, and the sounds shifted from being the element in between, to being space itself, and the architecture and everything it contained."
