Deborah Hay

was the first guest choreographer to start work with Motion Bank.

Her score project is based on her existing solo 'No Time to Fly' (2010). In early 2011, the performers Jeanine Durning, Juliette Mapp and Ros Warby were each invited to adapt this score -- first as an individual solo and then into a new trio entitled 'As Holy Sites Go' that was performed in October 2012 at The Frankfurt Lab.

Follow the links to the right (or below) or go to the Documentation pages to find illustrated reports on the working process.

Deborah Hay's website has up-to–date schedules, a biography and more information about her work and other publications.

Score Team: Florian Jenett, Amin Weber and Mathias Bär (HFG Offenbach) and Svenja Kahn, Jens Keil and Benedikt Mueller (Fraunhofer Institute)

"The online score built upon Deborah Hay's solo "No Time To Fly" and her trio "As Holy Sites Go" holds material developed by approaching her work from three directions. There are visualisations based on data collected from as many performances as possible to look for similarities and variances, interviews with Deborah Hay and the dancers Jeanine Durning and Ros Warby and our own digital performances based on what we learned from the process" Florian Jenett & Amin Weber
