Touch Move Talk Write: Open Studio Practices

The workshop will be devoted to four basic practices that are implemented, deliberately or inadvertently, in most contemporary dance and choreography workshops – touching, moving, talking, writing. By applying the rule that each be practiced for the same amount of time, certain implicit structures begin to show themselves. We discover our own expertise, habits, and or fresh ways of doing things. By stating who does what for whom, and for how long, rather than specifying too much "how to", these practices start to reveal different angles of possibility. We can invent a studio practice, whether temporary, playful, fake, or very very serious... It's the experience that you bring and your own curiosity that incites the proliferation of new forms, and excites new questions to pursue. Please bring a notebook and something to write/draw with every day.
