Low, Middle, High (geared towards children ages 5-10)
Mariangela will share with children how to make small dances by combining simple body actions. Children will explore the levels in which the body can move through the space and find infinite possibilities. Mainly this class will be an opportunity to have fun outside while dancing and sharing with friends.

Kid’s class with Yvonne Meier (geared towards children ages 4-6) 
We will warm up with the principals of straight, round and curvy. Then we will engage in an extraordinary freeze dance using fancy scores. Class will end with locomotion like walking like a spider across the floor.

The Cypher: A Soulful Improv Jam
The Cypher: A Soulful Improv Jam is an opportunity for people of all backgrounds, levels, and disciplines, to explore their voices as movers; an approach to improvisation using the functionality of the circle as reflected in African Diasporic practices. We will use the Cypher to launch us into collective choreographic exploration, pushing ourselves to be less precious about our material, and observing our work the through lens, skills, and creativity of our peers. Come prepared to offer and teach a small bite of material... then let the PLAYING COMMENCE!

Connecting to the Inner and Outer Landscape
Yamazaki's practice, which is grounded in Butoh and Noguchi gymnastics, examines time and space in the body and in the environment, while sensitizing your perception and feelers to be able to accept the environment, as it is, without any physical or mental blocking. This class is open for anyone who would like to take a moment to listen to and balance your inner and outer sense of space and time.

COMPOSING/DECOMPOSING: IMPROVISATION TO COMPOSITION AND BACK Within this compositional workshop our quest will be to generate set movement material that is organic, surprising (perhaps crazy and imperfect)--exactly right to satisfy our unique expectations/desires--without killing its improvisational spirit. Emphasis will be placed on shaping choreography from the outside. To facilitate this all participants will take turns working as dancers for others in the group. Please bring concrete (or vague) ideas and inspiration to use as a starting point, or borrow some of mine.Participants will engage each artist’s individual creative practices in a dynamic format that encourages a peer to peer relationship in a lab type setting.

Move to Heal
This class is for those struggling with health issues of their own or that of a loved one. We use movement and somatic practices to support healing processes. Sourcing from both western and eastern traditions, we will play with movement, breath, sound and imagery to encourage self-empowerment as it relates to our health and well-being.

Sunday Process Lab
Beginning with a practice of solo improvisations, of seeing and allowing ourselves to be seen; letting the internal logic of the body come to the forefront; dancing for and with each other as a method towards the development of an intimate understanding of each other’s physicality and imaginative identity, while asking how the material interfaces with the space as a compositional container. how do we respond to it? how do we fill it? We will make material and then make decisions that react to what has surfaced. We will repeat a focused cycle of action and reaction, watching for an identity to emerge. ____ Part of the Movement Research Sunday Process Labs series!

Authentic Movement
A witness and a mover agree to enter a mystery. The mover, with eyes closed, self-directed, explores impulses in the present moment. The witness with eyes open watches the movement and holds the intention to support the mover’s experience. Personal imagery, sensation, emotion and the ineffable emerge to consciousness with movement as the source. Authentic Movement provides a powerful context to discover meaning or non-meaning from experience and to retrieve seminal material for the artist. After moving and witnessing, a process of speaking, moving, drawing or writing recalls the experiences. The ritual has the intention of maintaining the internal efficacy of what just happened.

Workshop
The workshop will draw on Nelson’s 25 years of continuing study in the work of Barbara Mahler and Susan Klein, and by more recent studies in other techniques such as Alexander TechniqueTM, Feldenkrais Method® and Body-Mind Centering®. We will begin with simple exercises and stretches that encourage mobility and suppleness in the superficial muscles, establish clear connections and directions through the bones, and create a dynamic and weighted relationship with the floor. The class will also incorporate a variety of approaches including some improvisation and hands-on work in partners that help deepen our awareness and give us the opportunity to really experience some of these ideas in a physical way. We will then take our work into very simple activities and movements in order to try and integrate this new awareness into our body’s movement patterns, and then build up to phrases of movement that involve moving more fully and dynamically.

Workshop on Laughter: In this workshop, Antonia Baehr proposes to share an artistic practice around the performance LAUGH. It is for all public. LAUGH is a piece about laughing as laughing. For the length of the piece Antonia Baehr explores this expression as a sovereign entity, in separation from causal baggage; jokes, tickles, narrative, humor, joy, looking at the thing itself: the sound and shape, the music, choreography and drama, the rhythm and the gesture of laughter. Comedy is not her goal, but contamination is an unavoidable by-product that sometimes contagiously trades sides of the ‘fourth wall’. Part of: Sunday Process Labs

TUNING SCORES Laboratory - Composition, communication, and the sense of imagination
A multi-sensorial approach to the questions: what do we 'see' when we look at dance? what do we 'see' from within the dance?' The scores offer inner and outer communication tools and practices that make apparent the ways each of us sense and make sense of movement. A playful and rigorous dialogue-in-action about space, time, movement, and the innate desire to compose our experience. Creators/Performers in any discipline (dance, music, visual art, theater, science, engineering, farming) are welcome.

Moving from Touch
Touch comes in many shapes and sizes. From a hand resting on a hand or arm, to a back resting against a back breathing together. We are all born knowing experientially the gift of touch. When we give touch, we receive touch in return – an exchange of information from body to body - reciprocity. Touch can draw our attention from deep inside the body to the surface, to skin, and touch can take our attention from skin to depth, addressing and integrating fundamental facets of our being and giving us information about body systems, movement qualities and thought processes, as well as opening spaces for imagination. In this workshop we will explore moving from touch.

i have been creating and recreating the same piece for over 3.5 years and i’ve finally boiled down the words and games that have created six whole pieces. bring in your favorite pieces of music or playlists and i’ll bring mine. we will sit, sing, write, move, be political and talk while we mine our own lives for generative material. come with your deepest desire to work/werk along with your curiosity for mortality. there’s also a space for our collective failure at this. our work together will be documented and available for your reference after this event. this will be deep research for me and our time together will have everything to do with work i create in the future.

SHAKE/WALK
Taking two everyday forms of movement, we will allow these forms to disorganize within, and be disorganizing of, our bodies. This will lead us to understandings of function and form, and the creative potential within experiential states of disorder. As we explore in solo, duet, and ensemble improvisations, moving periodically in contact and/or with eyes closed, lines between states of order and disorder will be at times stark and at others blurred. The sensations that arise within this unstable and unbound matrix range from relaxing to energizing, chaotic to cathartic, disorienting to freeing.

Boy Band Audition: A Workshop/Performance
Boy Band Audition explores pop cultural vernaculars through improvised song, dance and performance. Fusing music videos, science fiction and improvisatory theater techniques, participants will explore group identity, create alter egos, and design a plan for attaining utopia, if not now, then at least in the future. All are welcome: participating audience members, their stage moms and voyeurs.

Exorcise Class
A hyper-aerobic, sweaty, instructional, conceptual dance party designed to work out your psychic fat blockage and tone up supersensory abz. While living your spandex dreams and looking real.

Workshop
We'll try to improve the fluidity of our actions by 1) establishing a purposeful and clear relation with the floor, and 2) integrating all parts of the body in action. The kind of movement I am interested in is first functional, then expressive as a consequence. In these sessions we will try to understand the link between functionality and expressive power. We will often use improvisation instead of set movements in order to understand and apply technical mechanisms in a conscious way; at the same time, a higher technical awareness will allow us to improvise more fluently and with more tools at our disposal.

Sunday Process Lab
The class format will offer a variety of scenarios and potential entry points for the development of individual explorations of the material as well as creating within the group. Proceeding from viewing and making, we will work in front of and with each other, adhering to and discarding material as necessary. We will talk about our experiences and have fun sharing time together. PART OF: Sunday Process Labs

I have been workshopping methods that allow practices of the voice and body to exist as the same organism. I will share specific exercises that have helped me to access a more densely layered and articulate singing body. We will wake up the internal space that unites all perceptual facets, and open our ears as well as our skin, muscle, and bone to sound. Come prepared to touch and be touched, to move and be moved, as well as listen. It will be energizing and rigorous. No prior experience with the voice is required. I hope to create a space for your questions and insights to join mine at the table. PART OF: Sunday Process Labs
