ODC/Dance Company Commission

40 minutes

10 performers

10,000 Steps: A Dance About Its Own Making was a commission from the 50+ year old San Francisco-based dance company ODC/Dance, and was created in 3 weeks with Company dancers. The piece dissects the notion of “pedestrian” movement and the liminal, theatrical space between locomotion and dance through exactly 10,000 deliberate steps. Both joyful and self-reflective, 10,000 Steps reveals nuanced complexities within an intricate and exuberant structure.

"Ten thousand steps is a lot of people’s daily fitness goal—but in this brilliant piece, it's ten dancers’ exploration of the ways to use those steps creatively and sometimes comically, conserving and crafting and counting as they build an exploration of vernacular movement, everyday gesture, amusement and ambition."
