Studio Practice + Process: Dreaming as Code: Somatic Time Travels, Grooves, and Otherwise
DAN4823B.04
Course Description
Summary
Studio Practice sessions will be a divulgence into pleasure practices. Students will engage in improvisation practices rooted in methods of bone deep listening, memory work, call and response, collective dream mapping, and storytelling. Phrasework will be offered as an invitation to engage in polyrhythmic technicality, groove based aesthetics, and playfulness in rigor and risk as a way to push through what we might already assume to know. Process sessions will engage in the lineage of Glitch Feminist, Afro-Futurist dream practices as a way to siphon through desire as generator for liberation dreaming. We will work through 鈥渢ext鈥 as an ever evolving, multiplicitous concept鈥搕ext. Text as your favorite music video, poem, prayer, tattoo, secret, etc. A community citation will serve as the groundwork we meet and leap off of. We will come together to create a sharing of worlds as the glitchy, time traveling events we encounter collide and come into relationship with one another.
