These sessions will work with the score from Motley���s 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?

Drop In and Make It
Ann Carlson is conducting a weekly drop in situation to show new work. People making work in any genre ��� performance/choreography/conceptual/site works ��� are invited to participate at any place in their process. It is designed as an informal yet rigorous opportunity to show work before a small group, receive feedback (if you'd like) and get ideas for getting the work to the ��œnext step��� ��� completed, performed, funded.

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.

Action Theater
Action Theater is a training process in physical theater improvisation. This workshop will address the relationship between language and movement, content and form, presence and imagination, embodiment and narrative, performance and practice, relaxation and power. The training is appropriate for those in dance and theater searching for a skillful vehicle toward the unexpected.
