Class description:
This ‘improvisational dance class’ is open to faculty, students, and members of the wider community who are interested in exploring the juncture between theory and the body. The ‘dance class’ introduces some of the conceptual and kinesthetic approaches to improvised movement I have developed over many years of practice/research in experimental dance. I invite participants to build on (or reject!) these approaches to discover their own ever-evolving improvised movement languages. This class is a chance to explore how our ‘movement languages’ (established and emergent) connect to ‘theoretical concerns ’ (also established and emergent)—and vice versa.
Theory meets practice.
