We will work with a speculative relationship to one’s own body and the bodies of others to grasp what our bodies contain. Feminisms are the groundwork as we work through a variety of dancing methodologies. Through various systems of perception-action, dancing methods will be initiated from deep inside one’s internal organs; others will be formed in relation to one another as a temporary community. We will consider the bodies within bodies within bodies within frames in order to harness the social potential of dance/choreography to envision the future and reflect on the current moment, now. A set of experiential protocols will be proposed and further proposed. Relations will not be fixed to find new structures, new formats, new thinking. Dialogues shall slide between sense and nonsense, rational and irrational. In order for something to be radical, we cannot know the model it will take.
What to expect:
There will be specific prompts and instruction-based improvisations, some group conversation, plenty of movement and various formats for group configurations.
