ABSTRACT

They say your past catches up with you. Reflecting over the 25 years of collaborative performance history between Aggiss and Cowie, a truer word has not been spoken. Either through invitation, or commission, some notable performances were reconstructed in 1999 including: work by the The Wild Wigglers (1982-1990), Grotesque Dancer (1986) and Die Orchidee im Plastik Karton (1989); Bird in a Ribcage, made for Transitions Dance Company in 1995, was reconstructed in 1999; Vier Tänze, a collection of dances choreographed by Hilde Holger in the 1920s and 1930s, was reconstructed on Aggiss in 1993.
