Course Description

Summary

Morning sessions will begin with guided research practices that examine relationships between curiosity, desire, strength, organizations of effort/force and ideology/aesthetics: practices of critical physicality! Phrase-work will be shared as a portal to play. Choreographed material will act as a set of coordinates that anchor an exploration of exaggeration and sensation. We’ll fall into and out of lush, decadent movement experiences. Afternoon/evening sessions will be organized as a series of durational practices and collectively designed rituals of exquisite attention; we will focus on creating immediate and urgent opportunities for dancing, drawing and writing. Spectacularly fleeting events, or micro-theaters, will be designed and inhabited each session. We’ll accumulate the artifacts of our research - drawings, notes, animations, scores - ultimately co-conspiring on how we might catalog and/or share the manifestations of our work. Module dates: October 22 - November 15, 2024
