This workshop focuses on the mysterious, maddening, and vital process in making dance and movement-based performance. I offer proposals to you to make short performances and then through a series of questions you become aware of what your tendencies and strategies are. The “aboutness” of your work is revealed to you through the way you make it. We will make, discuss, improvise, and watch each other’s work. I distribute articles ranging from artist statements to critical theory to contribute additional voices to the mix. In my experience, making work is a confrontation with your desires, habits, value system, politics, imaginative capacity, and directorial strengths and weaknesses. Before you make anything, you are already something. Let’s find out what we can bring into the world.
