improvisation workshop for dance artists
Workshop: 3 hrs. :::: 15:00 -18:00
| resonance | is based on practices that enable heightened states of sensory perception. The workshop shares methods for reverberating mindfully with other dancers during duet and ensemble improvisation. We will focus on listening, sensing, and acting from sound, movement, and memory impulses. We will explore expansions and contractions of energy and sound in our bodies and in the space. We will trace the pathways that movement material takes between outside and inside: input - filtering - output - sending. Rather than reacting to other bodies, we will cultivate a stance that allows us to observe, consider, and respond with as much of our selves as possible.
The group will explore questions like: How do we transmit messages that perpetuate in different forms through the space instead of dying out? How do we translate or morph messages into different media like writing, drawing, or assessing? How can we use vibration, reflection, sounding, panning, resounding, writing, and remembering to create a resonating body?
Workshop is free.

| resonance | movement + sound
Performance: 1 hr :::: 19:00
| resonance | is a structured improvisation that involves participants from workshop and invited sound artists responding to and influencing movement + sound in various groupings and patterns. Sound artists will use sine waves, and panning and phasing techniques, to move sound in space creating a physical sonic environment. The movement artists will respond to sound, and each other, and will in return influence the sound, perpetuating the cycle.
Performance is free.
donations are greatly appreciated.
