Marjorie Morgan 
will be showing new solo works that were developed at a residency at Studio
878 
in Chatham, Mass. The works will incorporate music (vocal), text and
movement. 
One of the solos, entitled "Flat" is a lamentation sung by the melted Wicked

Witch of the West about the untimely death of her sister. 

Cathy Paine 
will perform 'Occasional Piece #27' which is the twenty seventh in a 
series of solo improvisations, each created in the moment of performance.
Cathy 
responds to the space, the audience, current world and local events, the
tone 
of the concert and her inner sensations and perceptions. Drawing on over 30 
years of experience and training as a dancer and choreographer, Cathy will 
construct and develop a performance work specific to the concert event. 

Cathy will also be teaching a Feldenkrais and Contact Improvisation workshop
at 
CasaNia on Saturday, May 22nd from 2-5 p.m. Sliding scale $25-$65

Feldenkrais and Contact Improvisation: Self Awareness in Partnering

This three hour workshop will begin with a Feldenkrais Awareness Through 
Movement lesson, to help us open up to new possibilities and perhaps
challenge 
some of our beliefs about ourselves. Maintaining awareness of our own
comfort, 
we will then move into some simple partnerships - sharing weight or eye 
contact - and explore the complexities of staying comfortable, responsive
and 
flexible while moving in contact with another person. There will be time to 
take this exploration into open dancing, and to come together for a final 
Awareness Through Movement lesson.

Previous experience with The Feldenkrais Method and/or Contact Improvisation
is 
welcome, but not necessary. ~ Cathy Paine http://www.movementworks.net.
