Course Description

Summary

In this course we will create a new dance project together. The ensemble work will allow participants to engage in a rigorous approach to the practice of performing. Each performer is invited to bring what they know with them to the project, yet leave room for each to express a complex and indefinable range of experience through the humor, intelligence and emotional engagement of the dancing body. Performers will also be invited to include voice as part of this project, considering it as part of the whole body. The material will be triggered by image or character-based movement directives. Performers will work with un-prescribed movement in most situations throughout the process, allowing the structure of the dance to unfold.
