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
