Right On (Ceremony of Us)
Synopsis
In the piece, created in response to the Watts riots, Halprin guides the dancers through a series of movements and extensive partner work. The performance sought to explore racial politics while providing opportunities for catharsis and healing. According to Larry Reed, the two dance troupes rehearsed separately for almost six months. Halprin traveled back and forth between rehearsals in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and would describe one group to the other. Eventually the two groups came together in San Francisco at the Divisadero Street studio in rehearsals that were powerful sessions of trust-building. They would work on movement and engagement at Halprin’s direction, then make drawings to explore their feelings, then go back to movement. - https://matrix277.org/Object-10
