At Danspace Project, the Pulse Behind Recollection.

Jeanine Durning begins her newest work, ''Ex-Memory: waywewere,'' with a video montage of local dance figures -- among them, Juliette Mapp and Christopher Williams -- discussing their recollections of the solo she is set to perform. The consensus is that they don't remember much about the specifics of her dancing, but details emerge -- among them, the image of flailing limbs and a body strapped to a metronome. Ms. Durning begins the piece with that solo. As a metronome clicks back and forth, echoing throughout the space like a prancing horse, she sings a verse, culminating with the words ''I'd love to see you.'' She rises from her seat to perform phrases filled with darting changes of weight. While Ms. Durning's movement is floundering and ferocious, it also has an elastic quality; it's as if she were being pulled in several directions at once. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
