Cage Shuffle
Performed By Paul Lazar
Choreography By Annie-B Parsons

Recorded at Harvard Farkas Hall
Mar 3 2018
Cage Shuffle
The sequence of the stories is random.
The sequence of the dance is not.
The performer follows Cage’s original performance instructions:
“Read stories aloud, with or without additional musical accompaniment, paced so that each story takes one minute.
Read all stories in order or select a smaller number, using chance procedures or not.”
-John Cage

In Cage Shuffle Paul Lazar speaks a series of one-minute stories by John Cage from his 1963 score Indeterminacy while simultaneously performing choreography by Annie-B Parson. The stories are spoken in a random order with no predetermined relationship to the dancing. Chance serves up its inevitable blend of strange and uncanny connections between text and movement. With live tape and digital collage scored and performed by composer Lea Bertucci.
