INFINITE AFFINITIES: Improvisation, Somatics and the Musics of Performance Practices
This 5 day afternoon workshop for dancers, musicians, actors and performance artists will explore movement, sound, image and text through entering into the many physiological and etymological states that the body holds as vibration and inner musicality. We will explore ways of tuning the instrument of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual bodies to amplify resonation, tone and fluid currents. We will deepen into the body as a source for creative practice in theater, voice and the poetics of moving. Explorations will include entering into solos and duets as well as ensemble scores to create a symphony of improvised movement, and words.
Through acquiring articulate language to describe states of experience, we will create maps for entering into experiences of sensation and design to be blueprints for performance studies, establishing fluid ground for supporting the wisdom of each students’ experience. Along with the momentum of new input to support different qualities increasing solo attention, awareness and intention, we will actively witness ourselves and each other. Each student will gain knowledge of their strengths as well as widen choice, create discernment and practice embodiment through exposing contradictions in the body and engaging with the imagination within the ensemble. This workshop will guide students to find volume within themselves, new states and qualities of expression, and the play between discipline and freedom, strength and vulnerability. Movement, voice, writing, drawing will be a few of our tools.
These studies are based on K.J.’s decades of studies, teachings and performing of different somatic, sonic and sensory modalities.
