Hemisfere - 1983 Hemisfere su trio za tri žene, podeIjen u četiri de(a. Igra je postavljena i intuitivno i analitički, sugerišući mračnu zonu u kojoj postoji neizvesnost između poljâmisli i akcije: misao je neophodna da bi sè'opazile tananosti - energija (aktivnost) i dinamika igrę su samo prvi sloj igračkog iskustva. U igri se metaforički izražavaju sfere sveta i duha. Pokreti često potiču iz neke druge kulturę, pošto se koreografija smišlja na papiru: pravila se često odbacuju u studiju, ustupajući mesto intuitivnom i čulnom pristupu. Igra potiče iz manje školovanog, manje strogog izvora; shodno tome, ona postoji van granica stila iii kulturę koji bi sputavali njenu čistotu. Hemisfere su izvedene na visokom nivou fizičkog izraza koji prenosi pažnju publike sa izvođača na doživIjaj same łgre.D (Molissa Fenley)

Hemispheres - 1983 Hemispheres is a trio for three women, divided into four parts. The organization of the dance in both intuitive and analytical, suggesting a penumbra! zone where there exists an uncertainty between fields of thought and activity: thought is necessary to perceive the subtleties the energy (activity) and dynamic of the dancing is merely the first layer of the dance experience. The hemispheres of the world and of the mind are metaphorically characterized in the dance. The movements are often derived from another cultural source as the choreography is thought out on paper with rules that are often discarded in the studio in favor of a more intuitive and sensuous approach. The dancing is from a less schooled, less stringent source;

consequently it exists without the boundaries of style or culture to inhibit its purity. Hemispheres is executed at a high level Of physicality which transfers the audience’s attention from the dancers themselves onto the experience of the dance itself. □ (Molissa Fenley)

Molissa Fenley u Brooklynu Molissa Fenley i Igrački i muzički ansambl Anthony] a Davisa Episteme uleteli su u grad u četvrtak uveče sa snažnim, uzbudljivim novim nastupom u okvini Narednog talasa, pod okriljem Brooklyn Academy of Music. Prvi put se u ovoj eksperimentalnoj seriji osetio smisao za eksperiment, i to u vrlo čudnom obliku, koji je mogao da izazove strahopoštovanje. Cak je i dekor bio drugaiiji - sastojao se od paketâ malih otisaka italijanskog shkara Francesca Clemen-
