Texas Dance Improvisation Festival: Class + Film

October 9, 2021
I am giving a workshop for the Texas Dance Improvisation festival as well as presenting an Improvisatory film, in a quiet time that I created in collaboration with Karen Kaufman.

About my class:
SHAPING AT THE POINT OF UTTERANCE

In conversation, we shape at the point of utterance while taking parallel leaps of interest. How like spontaneous speech can we correspond, arrive, and diverge in dance? In this session we’ll witness how form arises in language to discover moving momentum with others. We will tend the tone, weight, and musicality of our compositional rhythms. In a year of grief, fear, and isolation, we will go towards the intimacy of building something new, together.

* “shaping at the point of utterance” attributed to James Britton
