HEAT is a choreographic workshop centered on endurance, exertion, and devotion as collective practice. Working indoors and outdoors, participants will engage in physically demanding movement scores that explore sweat, humidity, repetition, and accumulation as conditions shaping both individual and group experience.
Devotion is approached as sustained physical commitment—to movement, to the group, and to the shared conditions we inhabit. Through repetition, insistence, and extended duration, participants move beyond momentary effort into longer arcs of engagement, where endurance becomes a practice of remaining present.
The workshop emphasizes group formations and collective momentum. Participants will align, disperse, and reorganize in space, constructing temporary social architectures through shared physical labor. Heat and humidity function as active collaborators, intensifying sensation and requiring participants to negotiate energy, attention, and care in real time.
Through sustained exertion, participants will explore how force accumulates, how collective momentum is generated, and how devotion emerges through repeated return to action. This workshop welcomes movers of all backgrounds and experience levels. Participants are encouraged to work at their own pace and attend to their individual needs within a shared field of practice.
