Contact Improvisation
Solo Training • Changing States
Composition • Performance
Improvisation Scores • The Underscore
The January 2014 OPEN training is a residential workshop specifically designed to develop our practice of contact improvisation and other related improvised dance work. The workshop will include physical training, improvisation and composition scores, listening practice, jamming, watching, discussion, feedback, labs, contemplative practice, and performance studies.
In solo, duet, trio, and group work; in and out of contact; in silence and with live music, we will move toward greater clarity and inspiration in our dancing and watching.
Please come prepared physically and psychologically for intensive practice (and a bit of fun!).

This is a movement workshop that focuses on the development of our poetic sensibilities in conjunction with our capacities to attune to the nested ecological worlds we live in. My approach is based upon the interweaving of technical training with perceptual training and aesthetic research. I view composition and performance as ecologically rooted acts. Movement, culture, politics, stories, images and gestures are embedded in the relationships that are evolving all around us. Come ready to dance, perceive, perform and imagine.
$120 for 5-day workshop, class is 1:00-3:00 pm Monday-Friday.
It is likely that we all have experienced moments dancing and in life when we feel powerful, free and confident—when we can adeptly navigate whatever is put in front of us with grace and joy. What creates this quality of delight and presence that makes us feel 100% ALIVE? In this workshop we will focus on 3 components that support dancing that is easeful, expressive, engaging and deeply satisfying.
