Experimentalism
Both body and dance are always provisional, which does not mean that body and dance are abstractions. There is a concreteness that is always the essential teacher whose effects can be startlingly physical. In the workshop Hay will propose a particular set of performance practices. Once the dancer becomes familiar with how to work the practices, a second layer, the choreography, will be added to the workshop experiments.

Real Feedback
Real Feedback provides the much-needed platform for small groups of choreographers to get together, show work and get substantive feedback. Our goal is to use language as a vital tool to get at the essential nature of what we see – elevating our dances and the choreographic process. Expect dynamic feedback that addresses the fundamental tenets of your work and learn how we derive meaning from them. By sharpening your critical skills in Real Feedback, fall into deeper conversation with the choreographic form and use your freshened awareness to help you create dances that truly match your vision.
