… Make / Manifest Future Spaces AND

This lab operates through a choreographic lens which means we will move, write, make, talk, share, compose, compost, collaborate, repeat in and through our bodies. It’s open to anyone who has a sense of their own artistic practice and would like some support to clarify their creative position. You will receive multiple choreographic tools and other resources to dance both forwards and backwards in time. You don’t have to be a professional dancer to take this workshop but it’s best suited to people who are willing to move + have a sense of artistic practice / a body of work to reflect on + a new path / project they'd like to turn towards.
It’s open to--and welcomes--both emerging and established creative practitioners across disciplines.
Bring:
New and (up to three) old journals; a new notebook; smartphone / tablet (ipad); water bottle; comfortable clothes to move in; sunhat and shoes for going outside; pens and any other drawing things; a snack; a book / essay (printed or digital) that feels important to your artistic practice that you’ve been meaning to read but haven’t got around to it yet.
