This piece, entitled "Recombination" is the first piece created and performed by Gallim Dance. The piece made its first appearance in 2007 and is actually 12 minutes long. The piece is an exploration of a single phrase of choreography that is built upon and played with throughout the piece. The beginning is very structured and together with almost all of the movement done in unison. As the work unfolds, structure turns into a sense of chaos and confusion. I found this piece to be very interesting and a very good first work to expose to the public representing Gallim. This semester while working on the developmental process of a piece for the New Dancer Showcase, I was exposed to the many different ways that you can manipulate one single phrase and create an entire piece from a short phrase of movement. Because of my recent exposure to this idea, I was very tuned into the accumulation of the phrase. I also really like the idea of moving from structure to chaos.
