THE INSTRUMENT / Improvisation Workshop with Maya Matilda Carroll 7+8.11
Advertisement
The Instrument
The Instrument practice offers an in-depth physicality and exploration of body and mind in our compositional space/time. Our study engages with improvisation and choreography; through bodily wisdom, precision and imagination. The richness of these layers invites our attention and awareness; individually and collectively. As we work with present – choices, perception and the interplay between movement and image; our dance-making encounters freedom and discipline with new appreciation. Guiding themes in the sessions are: tangibility and gravity, space, time-rhythm-musicality, poetry and story. Joining these themes in the process of dancing / performing, the work draws upon human nature, environments and choreographic narratives. The practice is offered for experienced dancers and movers who are interested in embodiment and performance.
Maya Matilda Carroll
Maya Matilda Carroll is a choreographer, dancer, mentor and teacher, based in Europe since 2004. For over twenty years she has been creating independent dance and performance, collaborating with dancers, musicians, actors, poets and visual artists. Her work evolves from an affinity towards human stories, an embodiment of sound/music and imaginative exploration through physical vocabularies. Maya formed The Instrument (2011) with her life and artistic-work partner; composer / musician Roy Carroll. Their long-standing collaboration is a unique experience of texture and atmosphere within which Maya continues developing her choreographic landscapes. Through The Instrument Maya initiates and is involved in productions that range between independent projects and larger scale commissions. As a teacher, Maya leads master classes and workshops in Europe and abroad, extensively developing her teaching alongside her artistic work; drawn from and towards the human, social and poetic manifestation of the dancing body.
Between 1997-2000 Maya danced in Muza dance company, Tel-Aviv, Israel. She collaborated with choreographer Lara Barsacq over five years (1999-2004, Tel-Aviv - Paris). Between 2000-2003 Maya danced in Batsheva Ensemble company, directed by Ohad Naharin. She also danced works choreographed by Anat Danieli, Sharon Eyal and Arkadi Zaides to name a few.
