Meditation, Movement and Space:  Improvising from the Inside Out.

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.
