We are the mediums between all the expressions we enter. This workshop will address the dancing human through exploring the collaboration between studies and research that connect to a greater sense of self -and to the world - both as personal sensation and from being alive in these contemporary times. In classes we will: look at systems and states of the body; challenge ourselves with direct contact as physical, psyche, emotion and dream; sound, sing and use our voices as music, with found text and what we write; and we will find a poetics of creating dance and theater that we can utilize what we know and reveal new strengths and tools for performance.
Human/ity Dance comes from 30 years of personal research into somatics, theater, voice and eastern forms. These forms include the Tuning Scores of Lisa Nelson, evolutionary and developmental studies of Body Mind Centering (r), Contact Improvisation and Material for the Spine from Steve Paxton, the Sanford Meisner acting processes, Roy Hart voice work, and Yoga and Ayurvedic practices. How do we resonate? How do we work with resistance? How do we know when we are more? How do we encounter the human dancing? This workshop is a template for a larger workshop to be held at Earthdance in May of 2017.
