stuplimity No. 1

trombone septet



Stuplimity No.1 incorporates elements used by artist Sol LeWitt in his series of works grouped under the title Variations of Incomplete Open Cubes (1974). This transliteration was a response to the 7x7 ft cubic structures used by Director/Choreographer Yoshiko Chuma in 7X7X7X7X7, the site-determined intermedia work in which the pre-final version of Stuplimity No.1 was heard. The outdoor site that Chuma's larger work occupied was near the Hudson River's North Cove in Battery Park City, NYC. This was one of several performance sites along the river during the event Art On The Beach: Revisited during the 2005 River To River Festival. 

Premiered durring City Center's Fall For Dance Festival, Oct. 7th, 2005
