Hi everyone:
I'll be teaching the following workshop in August:
Andrew Marcus
Beyond Contact: Improvisation for Performance
In this workshop we will use our physical, emotional and intellectual skills
to locate personally meaningful movement vocabulary. Once we are wholly
connected and committed to our movement sources, we will embark on wildly
diverse relationships: with our environment, with each other across time and
space, and in physical contact. The objective is to have a deeply felt
personal experience and to be able to communicate and share that experience
with a duet partner, a multi-partner ensemble and, ultimately, a viewing
audience.
August 7-30, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12-3pm, $80 or $15 single
537 Broadway, 3rd Floor (Forti studio)
to register: 212.260.0265
Andrew Marcus, the originator of Sensation and Form and Technique for a Soft
Body, has been committed to improvisation as performance for almost 20 years.
He performs and teaches internationally and has collaborated with such
pioneers as Daniel Lepkoff, Nina Martin and Nancy Stark Smith. Andrew is in
the process of forming a dance company for improvisers.
An audition for Andrew Marcus Performance will be held on Fri. 8/31, 12-3 at
the Forti studio.
I am also teaching "Technique for a Soft Body" at Dance Space, 451 Broadway
2nd Floor. Mon. 8/13, Wed. 8/15 & Fri. 8/17, 10am -12pm.:
This work is designed to develop the body as an efficient vehicle for
personal artistic expression. Moving developmentally from the floor to
standing, we will integrate the skeleton, muscles and soft tissues as sources
of support, speed and expressive qualities. Class will end with simple
improvisational scores designed to integrate technique with live action,
spontaneous dancing; the ultimate goal being an articulate body and a
conceptually rigorous approach to space.
As noted on the workshop flyer, there will be an audition for my new
improvisational company, fri. 8/31, 12-3 at the Forti Studio. I'm looking
for 5-7 dancers. The audition will be very low key, just like a workshop
class, so relax and enjoy.
Please forward this to whoever might be interested.
Hope to see you,
Andrew
