I became familiar with the Tarantella during the time I lived in Sicily in the 1990s, where I was fascinated by the idea of Tarantella as a ‘curative’ dance performed by pairs of women in villages on the slopes of the active volcano in Sicily, Mount Etna (Mangibeddu in Sicilian). This piece uses the Tarantella to link my current life in Australia to the formative years I lived in Sicily. A vinyl record of Tarantella, found in a Sicilian market, and ‘prepared’ with a personal note etched into the surface. The graphic score is made of colours extracted from the cover of that record. All that remains of the dance form – its frenetic energy and 6/8 rhythms - resides in this modified record – and the work is instead underpinned by low frequency sounds and drones, the result of years of listening to the mystique of Mangibeddu, and thinking about the impact this important place has had on my life and friendships.
