#SpeakingInDance | It was 1972 and David Gordon wanted to choreograph a solo for his wife and muse, #ValdaSetterfield. The problem? She was on tour with #MerceCunningham. His solution: He sent her cut-outs of poses from #EadweardMuybridge photographs; Valda learned them in a hotel room in Detroit. Over the past 50 years, Valda, 82, has performed many iterations of the Muybridge solo, but what is consistent, she said, is that “whatever poses I choose to do, I don’t make anything easier or fix them by saying, ‘Well if I put my foot down, I can do this better.’ I’m very rigorous about that.” David is still amazed at how precisely she grasped the details of each photograph. “There were things I hadn’t thought of,” said David. “Like this person has 3 fingers down and one finger up.” For Valda, that’s integral: “People talk about their families,” she said. “I know these people.” For David’s new show, “Live Archiveography,” opening this week at @thekitchen_nyc, Valda will perform the Muybridge poses briefly, when the house opens. Valda told the @ニューヨーク・タイムズ writer @giadk, “It’s sort of my ‘Dying Swan.’ ” @sbrackbill made this video for #SpeakingInDance, our weekly series exploring the world of #dance.
