Stephan Koplowitz:TaskForce UK 2009 Perf Excerpts: Armada Way, Plymouth (site-specific performance)

Stephan Koplowitz: TaskForce UK June, 2009 
"Liquid Landscapes" (a series of water related site-specific performances). Armada Way, Plymouth, UK Wednesday 24, June 2009 noon and 5pm performances This video contains excerpts from the entire work which was originally 45 minutes Sir Francis Drake was contracted to create the water system known as "Drake's Leat" which brought fresh water from the River Meavy to the people of Plymouth in 1591. The watercourse that runs through Armada Way replicates the path of Drake's Leat. The pathway performed by TaskForce, and all of the choreographic material seen, is inspired by this urban water design. TaskForce is a site-art dance touring company, established in 2008, that works on a project-to-project basis. Fluid in its conception TaskForce is made up of selected artists and performers drawn from the cultural landscape of its host city or region. It is a process oriented performance laboratory where artists are asked to draw inspiration from the architecture, history, culture and ecology of multiple sites within a single geographic area all connected by a common theme.
Working within an intensive time frame (three weeks of rehearsal + one week of performances) under the direction of veteran site-artist Stephan Koplowitz, each artist is given a different creative "task" to be explored and performed at the various sites. The content of each performance is made up of a combination of site-specific choreography, site-adaptive material and improvisational scores inspired by each performance site.
