Less is More
We hope through this illusion of you and I being separated, we can drop it, and go beyond our hanging names to explore and dance the in-between field of existence.
We invite you to a silent jam in the dance studios to listen with space to what’s underneath and in-between.
Our aim is to pair things back, to do a little less and to let go of some of the social layers of speaking and chatting, so that we may sense and move with what is already happening within and around us.
This Fall Jam, we will lean into the invitation of deep listening. Instead of dancing to recorded or live music we invite you to listen to sounds of our breath and to attend to the subtle shifts of weight within and all the movement that surrounds. Instead of cultivating chit chat and verbal conversations in the dance space, we want to explore what other forms of communication and creativity are possible when we drop the social layers and meet on more sensory levels.
NOTE: All common areas outside of the dance spaces during the jam will be available for verbal conversation.
This is an intimate contact experiment and we are excited to see what unfolds.
