Touch Move Talk Write Practice for choreographers, dancers, and other people. These basic components, whether used consciously or not, can be detected, at least always two of them, if not all four, in just about every dance or choreography related workshop one might encounter. This workshop focuses on all four very directly, in a stripped down, almost innocent fashion. We will apply extremely different durations for each practical element daily, and place the practices in different sequential relationships. The aim is to proliferate unexpected relationships between the different components. How does touch affect writing for instance? Choreogrpahic or dancerly? We will study and refine our sense of the specific properties that differentiate each practice (touching, moving, talking, writing) without much attention to what might typically be its correct usage and context. From these elements we can invent our own practice, rigorous and/or playful and/or joyful and/or serious and/or fun...
