Dissolving choreographies
by Jennifer Monson
About the workshop:
Dissolving choreographies: activating the soluble body to create energetic systems that mingle, disturb and cross thresholds of knowing.
This work activates the processes of the body to bring us into movement that defies identification and alters our perception of time and space. We build and dissolve improvisational and choreographic systems that transform and contaminate each other. We explore questions of solubility, collective knowing and immersive attentions. A performance process will emerge from our work together.
