1-2:30PM @ CHI Movement Arts Center
1316 S. 9th Street
Inspired by the tools I used/ developed/ found while creating my Uarts thesis, the workshop aims to extend the boundaries of the space we inhabit as dancers, performers, and creators. With this workshop, I hope to examine how we can exhibit the becoming of strangeness, asking ourselves how to find where the regular breaks. We will try to get into a sense of alienation by separating our bodies from ourselves and the space, through a series of meditative exercises that grow into partnerwork and improvisation. We will request insanities to enter the space, creeping up through the cracks of the mundane. !!!this is a touch-heavy class!!! We will be sharing weight and allow for transmission of the control over our bodies. Consent is a living, breathing concept, so we will establish rules and indications in case someone’s comfort level has shifted. Let’s play with duration and awkwardness, let’s find extremes in the physical monotony of the beings we so unfortunately became!!! LET’S MOVE WITHOUT DANCING /// DANCE WITHOUT MOVING
open level!
