This workshop is about being an audience and having an audience. Showing up and witnessing. Seeing and being seen, being yourself and being in a group. The focus will not be on looking good but rather on the way in which being seen supports us in seeing ourselves.
We will frame witnessing each other dance as an expanded way of connecting. We will investigate relating to multiple partners at the same time and getting in and out of contact with a partner while maintaining the integrity of our own dance.
We will move on to ensemble scores for improvising together. We will look at turning our own desires into action and how these individual expressions of creativity can coexist in a shared space with others.
Issues or blocks related to fear, failure, taking space and confusion will be welcomed and fuel the training of our agency and awareness.
