Finding itself somewhere between a workshop, dance class and scored improvisation. I am interested in allowing space for us view a historical performance in order to gain insight and perspective on our individual contemporary approaches to making performance. Using this as a beginning we will work on responding through both conversation and making / doing. We might end up blowing the whole structure apart and creating some historical event for ourselves! Please bring found objects, materials, scores, sounds, movements, interests, etc. This situation is open is all (non)performers, makers, thinkers and can either be experienced in 1 or 2 parts.
