Two years before that, Charmatz asked us to imagine Tate Modern as a museum for dance. For his latest project, Charmatz creates an ephemeral piece composed of the literal 10,000 gestures of the title, performed as a torrent of unrepeated movements, which are executed and then dismissed, questioning the nature of dance’s relationship to time. There will be an open lecture-demonstration and free live performances.
