Spontaneous Composition: Improvisational Ensemble Dance Workshops led by Suzanne Liska
- Diana Rose, Yves Candau, Karen Kaeja, Kousha Nakhaei, and Allen Kaeja. Luminato,
Sunday Workshops from 2-6pm
May 13 – Habits & Choices
June 17 – “Ready for anything, prepared for nothing” (F.M. Alexander)
We will draw from insights of the natural world to deepen our research in group improvisation. Drawing from nature we will uncover our instincts to respond to others, to our own emotions and body, and to the environment around us. Scores will be taught to develop awareness of the choices available to us on how, when, and in what way to respond with our whole self. How our choices affect others, ourselves and the environment will be explored. Be ready for anything!
We will create movement as a group in the moment, exploring physical, spatial, emotional, rhythmical, and vocal scores. Solos, duets, and trios will be framed within the ensemble. Movement exercises will be taught to engage your imagination and will draw upon your body and mind as inspiration to dance. The exercises will awaken your spatial perception while deepening your connection with yourself in relation to others.
The last half hour of each workshop will be open for the public to witness and view our process.
