Participants will use all rooms, floors, alcoves, stairwells and precipices as an opportunity to probe, burrow, mingle and expose the building in particular, while making dances in dialogue with the space in general. The architectural site (Judson) will be considered in relation to memory, function, scale, surface, sensation and perception. Participants will have the opportunity to perform material created from the workshop or beyond during the closing event for the Movement Research Festival, held at Judson Memorial Church.

"Imagine that you and I are astronauts. We have landed on the moon, and we find that we cannot return to Earth because our ship's engine is broken beyond repair...What would make us happier than to return to our beautiful planet and walk on it?" - Tich Nhat Hanh
