In this research laboratory, we will have time and space to explore essential aspects of ourselves that we take for granted, such as breathing, and our experience of weight and three-dimensionality. Sometimes taking an anatomical approach, at other times considering our multi-faceted and multi-layered totality, we will aim to taste an integrated openness and buoyant suppleness that generates fluid and easeful dancing. At the core of this work lies an appreciation of, and respect for, the innate intelligence of our bodies, and the practice of listening deeply to detail and to the micro-movement that is the foundation of complexity.
We will then sound out through the lens of our explorations, individual movement sources, using dancing, witnessing, writing /drawing, discussion and reflection. With playfulness and rigor, our objective will be to uncover personal idiosyncrasies and examine the qualities of presence in a responsive improvisational practice that links us to both our inner and outer environments.
