Inside Out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">We begin with the powerful tools of expressive movement:
stillness, silence and space. From that foundation, we investigate the contrast
between the empty space and the qualities that our activities project onto it
as we dance, act, and tell stories. Our improvisation
practice works with six energies: space, time, kinesthetic, relationship,
image, and story. These energies and the dynamics that arise from their
interplay inform the choices we make as improvisers - our entrances, exits;
beginning, middle, and end. How can we be ourselves in
the moment and embody what we want to communicate? How does composition
interact with our awareness of the shifting ground of improvisation?
We will practice with forms which define and sharpen
our relationship to space and to each other: solos, duets, trios, and
group work in sound, movement, and text. Our work focuses on being and
doing, exploring our natural strengths, doubts, attractions, and inhibitions.
I think of improvisation as fieldwork, an open
laboratory for expressive communication; a heightened awareness that develops
and shifts with natural grace.<o:p></o:p></div>
