Forsythe Repertory "Loss of Small Detail"
lot’s of fun through the rigour of the process
 
We will explore phrases and fragments from Forsythe's "Loss of Small Detail", ranging from the more classical to the more contemporary and release-based work. We'll dance the phrases, explore integration and modification of the forms, and go on to improvise -referencing the material and the unfolding inner logic of the hybrids we develop. In small groups we'll use the Forsythe phrases as a point of departure for movement and forms of dialogue discovered in the process.
