Read a New Poem by Sarah Slean

Previously we posted about Lucy Rupert's dance titled the Abcedarian inspired by Sarah's poem of the same name.

The video of the dance has been available on YouTube but now for the first time the poem has been published in its entirety.

You can read it here on Lucy's Blog.

Watch the dance inspired by Sarah's Poem, The Abcedarian

In November we wrote to inform you of a poem Sarah had written for the inspiration of a dance routine. The poem titled, The Abecedarian, was danced by Lucy Rupert.

You can now see her performance here:



The words of the poem are not spoken and I can not tell with certainty that the music is by Sarah. The voice in the last few seconds of the clip does appear to be her's.

At the time of posting, the words to this poem have not been published.

Update: 2008-03-04
Lucy kindly advised that the music is Arvo Part, a section of a piece called Lamentate and the words spoken are not by Sarah, but by Lucy herself. Sarah's poem was projected overhead but not visible in this video. The poem may still be published at a later date.

Sarah provides Poetry to Dance Work

Sarah wrote a poem, "The Abecedarian", for dance choreographer and artist Lucy Rupert's. The work was premiered as part of Wrecking Ball IV shown November 8-11 at the Theatre Centre

The Abecedarian (world premiere) choreographed by Lucy Rupert
Award-winning artist and artistic director of Blue Ceiling Dance, Lucy Rupert uses email, webcasts and film footage to create a duet from afar with dancer Kyle Abraham (New York/Pittsburgh). Songstress and poet Sarah Slean provides the words which are captured along with Abraham’s dancing in projected images which provide the sound score for Rupert’s live dancing. - The Wrecking Ball (retrieved Nov 13, 2007)

An entry from Lucy Rupert's blog seems to indicate that words to the poem might be added to sarahslean.com at some point in the future. At the time of publishing, no updates were noted to Sarah's official website, blog, or myspace.
