Little by Little (theatrical percussion), by Kimberly R. Osberg (world premiere)

World premiere performance of Little by Little, by Kimberly R. Osberg. From the composer: Little by Little explores the desolation of routine. Throughout lockdown, I’ve had so many conversations with friends and colleagues about their routines and daily rituals—things in their day they came to rely on during the early stages of the lockdown that eventually led them to feel despondent, isolated, aggravated, and trapped. I wanted to explore this spiral and the routines themselves—what do we choose to fill our day with, how do we think these routines will serve us, and what fears, anxieties, or insecurities do these routines reveal about us at their most fundamental level? The set-up consists of 6 stations. Throughout the course of the work, the performer cycles through these stations a total of 5 times. Over the course of these cycles, the text starts to have words removed to reveal a hidden layer of text. The gestures begin with realistic interactions with the objects, getting increasingly musical with each rotation. The final cycles culminate in dramatic, theatrical gestures that leave the performer at the front of the stage to ask a question. This work was originally commissioned by percussionist-composer Dr. Marco Schirripa as part of the Project 12 commissioning series. However, what started as a plan for a short work for found percussion and theatrics has since blossomed into a substantial, quasi-performance-art work. Both Marco and I have been committed to making this a substantial, meaningful work and I couldn’t have asked for a better collaborator on such an ambitious and deeply personal project. www.marcoschirripa.com www.kimberlyosberg.com
