Composition, as in perception, organization, pattern, image.
Communication, as in touching and being touched by the (inner-outer) environment.
Imagination, as in: how does your body build an image?
Focusing on movement patterns of vision, touch, and hearing, Tuning Score practices reach into one’s body’s ways of organizing sensation and attention. How do each of us sense and make sense of movement?
In these few short sessions, I’ll offer explorations and questions that I’ve found can be practiced anywhere all day long. Giving time to experience how these patterns predetermine what we perceive, how they direct our desire and shape our interaction with our environment, how they inform what we imagine when we are attending to anything, how they affect our appetites for movement, stillness, and dancing, how they can be building blocks for cultivating a personal technique and choreographic vision.
And, at the least (since the above seems very ambitious), how our sensing patterns can change through play with their movement component, cutting the imagination loose.
What to expect:
Since this is a remote workshop, I will be mostly guiding through speaking. There are no prerequisites for previous experience with dance. Just the desire to explore what the workshop description indicates.
