DANCE WORKSHOP: « Sculpting Time »
--dance laboratory for fragility and strength of physicality, materiality, and spirit


Workshop Structure

Part I: Foundation:
Physical training for: awareness, strength, flexibility, sensitivity and concentration

Part II: State and Presence:
Exercises to:
-increase sensory awareness, open to new perceptions of time and space;
-inhibit compulsory actions and allow spontaneity;
-practice body mechanism to support states of expression.

Part III: Erasure and Becoming:
Using images and instructions of action to:
- erase functional/social self;
- alter ordinary boundaries between the self and the outside world to acquire more direct communication and way of being;
- make time and space visible, and allow inner desires to manifest outward.


Part IV: Solo Dances
free dance or with theme

...........................................................................................................

Make the self disappear and make visible other things -
Dance is not only of the body nor only of the mind,
We are being danced by something larger, for which one can only yield and become available.
Our conscious minds and our expressions are too small
to come close to the essence, even of a single falling leaf.
Then, do not try to understand, but surrender and let us be not the creators, but the created.
