COLLABORATORY: ENSEMBLE IMPROVISATION AND ATTENTION with THE ARCHITECTS

This improvistion workshop balances in-depth individual exploration with rigorous practice in spontaneous ensemble dance-making.Fresh perceptions and new choices are set in motion daily through provoking, open-ended questions. Each kinesthetic-conceptual proposition acts as an entrance point for the mover and composer, a window into authenticity, connection, depth, and range. Of particular interest here is THE EMERGING: compositional languages and modes of perceiving and engaging that are in-progress, unfolding, as-yet-unseen. Throughout the workshop, the artistic integrity of one’s voice is sharpened in conversation with the whole and a dialogue emerges as individual aesthetics meet, interact, and expand. As time allows, group discussions contribute to conscious integration of the experiential and the conceptual. Even here, moving into words is an invitation to discover, to uncover diverse perspectives, spark the imagination, and to notice the aesthetic and poetic effect of our compositional choices.​

Open to movers from all backgrounds, and all levels of experience with improvisation.
