Further Training

This research-oriented workshop examines imagery—from mundane to surreal—as a generative force for dance. Deploying a range of tools based in nostalgia, sensory work, transmission strategies and improvisation, we will construct landscapes and atmospheres from the inside out. Language and its welcome, subjective fallibilities will spark imagination to yield galvanized cellular choreographies at once brute and delicate, visceral and ethereal. We will work in groups, in pairs and individually to evoke as performers and perceive as witnesses the potent(ial) atmospheric shifts and transformative capacities in a dancing body.
