Salt Labors Breath
2000

Movement scored and directed by Julia Mayer.
50 lb and 4 lb salt licks, 300' of 1.5" manilla rope, dancers and their vocalizations, live mic ambient sounds

Salt is the ironic union of the word and the world.
– Erin Valentino  

An installation as setting and props for seven
dancers improvising from a score by Julia Mayer. Viewed from inside Links Hall out the windows of the second floor theater space, the dancers interacted
with the sited installation n two four evening performances. The audience came and went throughout the evenings, watching the dancers outside from afar, while hearing in the empty theater space the dancers' voices and movements, and the intermittent roar of the elevated train.
