Overview
Performed with TRILOGY, this piece was choreographed to William Blake's "Nurse's Song", music composed by Allen Ginsberg. We became friends with him in Colorado in 1980 in Naropa Institute in Colorado where he and we were teaching separate courses. We also asked Bob Carroll to sing that song because Allen was not available and we also created an instantaneous band with friends and named it as DIRT BAND. Bob was a very well-known stand-up comedian who create political satire and usually performs a solo. We were really close friends. Shortly after the piece’s premiere at The Kitchen, Eiko & Koma left New York City for the Catskills. They never performed Nurse’s Song again.
