October 9 – November 7, 2022
Solo choreographic research (click thru for rehearsal diaries!)
To research & rehearse this infinite transit: movement principles -> dancing states -> chain reactions produced in/by/with the site
or….how a space absorbs the dancing / how the place dialogues the dancing / how the dancing and the land make moves together
MORNING CLASS – REGISTER HERE – DESCRIPTION :
9h30 – 11h —-> fri. 10/21 + wed. 10/26 + wed. 11/2
Each of the residents takes a turn leading morning practice monday, wednesday, and fridays. mine will be “tools for rest & recovery”, and is less about flowing into an embodied state or a full comprehensive warm up, and more about me kind of demonstrating and downloading some tools from different somatic/sensing modalities that I find very helpful for a) arrival into the studio, b) a warm up, c) injury prevention/recovery. some comfort in a studio and movement context is a good idea but i wouldn’t say this is for Dancers only.
Please register or tell me you’re coming, I love preparation.

* A Hot Pile of Compost, this season’s title, is a quote from Donna Haraway’s Staying with the Trouble. It feels tailored to how I am working and trying to work this year as an independent artist stirring and experimenting in shifting assemblages of incredible artists, circumstances, and Places. Grateful for that compost-y language and grateful to be creating pretexts for gathering thru dance-making! – msb
