These pieces create the illusion of collage through layers of gouache and colored pencil with fine cut-outs. I take the completed pieces with me to the dance studio as tools for movement invention in my choreographic works.
IN 2008, RETTOCAMME spent six weeks experimenting in and around the Jonathan Shorr Gallery in Soho, NYC. They were joined by various collaborators, including Ryan Roth and Manhattan Samba.
RETTOCAMME has performed site-specific work throughout New York City, most recently in a series of installations at the Jonathan Shorr Gallery in SoHo.

Emma Cotter founded RETTOCAMME in 2003. RETTOCAMME is a process-oriented dance group. During the creative process, participating artists are encouraged to perceive and react to obstacles, audience responses and external forces, allowing original ideas to transform into worlds of their own. The works are then frequently re-visited. Changes in musical accompaniment and performances in drastically different venues force the performers to continually experience the material from new perspectives. RETTOCAMME dance projects are funded primarily by RETTOCAMME design services and art sales.
