Registration for the general public opens on March 23.
Deeply rooted in and fluidly expanded from Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT), Skura developed Open Source Forms (OSF) after twelve years as SRT core faculty working closely alongside SRT creator Joan Skinner, and decades of radical performance practice. OSF includes shedding outer layers, dissolving ego, finding primal energy, agility navigating subconscious realms, & imagery as a powerful tool for transformation. Skura draws on decades of research & practice in improvisation & radical composition techniques, & her extensive background as SRT and OSF teacher and teacher-trainer. Her teaching derives from a rehearsal process that celebrates diversity, collaboration, and individual empowerment: free of inhibition, wildly intuitive, inviting mind to collaborate. Access conceptual freedom, specificity, courage and honesty in movement, vocal practice & improvisation. Experiment with surprising pathways between conscious & subconscious, movement/voice/writing/drawing, witnessing & participating. With radical approaches to scores as fertile path toward content-relevant method & structure, integrating intuitive with analytical. Trusting our inner world, accessing technique as resource & having the courage to transcend it in our unfettered presence. [Bring paper & pens for writing & drawing.]
What to expect:
This practice involves some deep inner work, some hands-on work with partners, and some image-driven movement work. It does not involve learning set movement. We’ll work, at times, with the voice as an aspect of our energy, as well as with some drawing and writing practices.
