In an effort to expand notions of choreographic craft, we will concentrate on the ways in which time operates as a limitless contributor to our work. The ability to manipulate time is central for one to “write” with dance. We will consider the use of sequence and velocity in choreographic construction and search for strategies outside of those borrowed from music. Each participant will examine their own internal, temporal world. We will also identify external structures that dominate us and begin to wrestle in the interface between the two. Looking deeply at sequencing, we can begin to shape our work with great specificity, and wrest it from certain canonic pressures that still hover over even the most experimental work.
What to expect:
In this workshop, you will be crafting new material every day. We will work on the material and continue to change it as we pass through a series of questioning exercises. We well then analyze these by talking in a group.
