To buy the rights, they must gather each equal funding (public or private support, companies, associations, environment, etc ... see the back list of all patrons I think not). In ten days, Deborah Hay sends a partition and practice. After a day of solo practice five days a week for three months, artists can present their adaptation. DEBORAH HAY member of the famous Judson Dance Theatre in New York in the early 60s, then ephemeral interpreter with Cunningham during the world tour in 1964, the American choreographer has continued to question her own choreographic practice is always risk to new how to create.
