This is a workshop about making movement material in an involved creative process. We will be talking about and moving through style, movement aesthetic and lineage so we can begin to uncover ways to chart new territory with old processes and influences. Each day we will work with qualitative movement scores, conversation and short flash movement studies to get us into conversations around our own aesthetic code of ethics.

What to expect:
Students should arrive up to 30 minutes prior to class to warm up as we do not do a warm up.
Each day we will work with qualitative movement scores, conversation and short flash movement studies to get us into conversations around our own aesthetic code of ethics.
