These sessions will work with the score from MotleyÃââs solo, Dancing the Numbers. The score is based on the following questions: What individual intentions support our dancing so that improvising a score is simple and clear? How and when does movement begin and end? How does one movement become another? How do we take the time to follow impulses and not generate them unnaturally? What do we do when one series of movements or investigations ends and another has not yet begun? What is stillness?

HUMAN BEHAVIOR EXPLORERES
This workshop will bein three parts over three SundaysIts structure will create a forum to discuss questions on perfromance in dance, including those about inprovisation, composition, and the different ways to think about choreography. The work will start from where we are as movers, and work with improvisation. Tools will be given to increase our sense of observation inward, of the body, and outward, of the environmant. The workshop will take place inside the studio and outside. We will detemine our scheduke together for the secont two Sundays at the first session leaving the time open so that we might work late at night or early in the morning. We will consider each Sunday asa potential 24 hour workshop; this doesn't mean we will be together all that time but that these 24 hours will be a time to engage a full body/thinking process.

Choreographic Intensive
This choreographic intensive explores dance that does/effects/says what cannot be done/effected/said in another form, and what this implies in the day-to-day work of the choreographer. How can we use this communicative power of movement to its fullest? How can we approach sequencing not as order, but as alchemy? Explore working with unknowing, perceiving and taking cues from what you are making while you are making it. Investigate ways to work with patience, humor, spontaneity and rigor, and address how to keep engaged.
