This might be entirely too stupid or obvious, but, for dancer/choreographers: what about struggling to physically turn back, or stop, the motion of the hands of a clock. Maybe a really big clock (like the Doomsday clock they trotted out for the press conference Cara linked too last week). I'm just thinking a lot about the tension between wanting to present the apolapyse in clocks/calendars while at the same time wanting to hold out the possibility of reversal (i.e. of new environmental policy, new nuclear armament policy, new Jesus policy?). Can we show the absurdity of this notion, that we both think the end is inevitable but want, genuinely, to work against it.
