   A civil talk with gemstone moments. Childs participated cautiously throughout the conversation. Glass opened up answering questions from audience members.

   It’s always interesting to hear artists discuss their work. Glass and Childs, two artists whose personalities or perspectives might not be immediately apparent through their work, were both funny and insightful. A really great opportunity.

   The discussion of “Dance” was informative; it continued and enhanced the overall experience from the previous evening’s performance. It was a privilege to hear Childs and Glass reflect on the work’s construction from the perspective of choreographer and composer.

   It was great to hear Philip Glass and Lucinda Childs for real and not just on some screen. Childs came across as being guarded and Glass, bored although one can see that there is a humerous side to his personality. I thought the talk was quite good as it made us aware of a number of things regarding their work and experiences. What was particularly great was the audience interaction with these artistes. Men as old as Glass, who had attended his concert many years ago were so excited on seeing him again. Two ladies seated ahead of me couldn’t stop discussing the change in Glass’ looks! It was a great session.

DURATION 90 minutes

“Basically we wanted to re-invent art.” - Sol LeWitt, 2005, reflecting on the creation of  Dance

How do creative minds collaborate to invent new ways of reframing experience? Join two great innovators as they share their own experiences and draw conclusions about curiosity, exploration and risk-taking.  Rolling Stone called Philip Glass “the best known living classical composer on the planet” and Lucinda Childs’ Dance was called “a vision of how we would all move in dance paradise” by the New York Times.  Along with moderator Jock Reynolds, Mr. Glass and Ms. Childs revisit their creative collaboration on the minimalist masterwork Dance, which was originally commissioned in 1979 by the Brooklyn Academy of Music and for which Ms. Childs was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship.
