THE SPACE BETWEEN: body/mind/time

Utilizing interdisciplinary performance and dance theatre techniques, this workshop begins with physical and image exercises to establish a strong, visceral mindbody connection. Excavating the expressive drawers of our psyche, we will push physical limitations to activate the body on a cellular level and strengthen our inner core. We will investigate movement within the space between the breath. Awake or asleep our body is moving. Most of the time motion exists below our consciousness — a buried world of gesture, form, reflex, pulse and breath. We will work on listening to travel some degrees below the surface, and train our bodies to achieve quality of movement and control while attempting to erase all tension and ego. Participants will be guided through exercises that test and expand our perceived limits of individual expression.
