Musings should have been a duet and will bear the mark and weight of
absences, hence its subtitle: “solitary duet.” The piece is structured in
a succession of several “musings,” separated by nothingness.
The title implies the notions of “daydreams,” “meditations,” “reflec-
tions,” “studies” and “introspections.” Each “musing” includes a moment of
meditative study around some of Merce Cunningham.s and John Cage’s ideas -
independence of dance and music, using chance as a way to make artistic
decisions and Zen Buddhist philosophy applied to theatrical art = adding a
curious and lively look to it. - Foofwa d’Imobilite

on Foofwa:
If a background in the Cunningham technique forms the bedrock of his work, Foofwa also ventures into uncharted territory, taking risks and pushing his body to its uttermost limits. No doubt because of his past – superb training and topnotch stage experience – he has no qualms about flouting, even shaking up, convention : He does so quite unawares.
