Class Description:
Technique / I wanna do right but not right now
Level: Open to all
This class structure will be geared toward ideas, notions, concepts, complications and practicalities of live performance. This structure will work well for dancers/performers, choreographers/performance makers and anyone who considers the moving body in a time-based manor. We will sometimes use set phrases to explore layered possibilities without having to create something sincere on the spot. We will not do yoga. We will watch each other. We will sweat. We will engage sensation with information. We will begin to harness our technique and apply it so hard that every ounce of being seen becomes experiential research.
Bio:
In 2005 Jen Rosenblit made about 300 business cards claiming there was something known as BottomHeavy Productions but what might be more important is that she grew up in rural Maine. While studying at Hampshire College, Rosenblit explored research on the history of the unconventional body with a ravaged performance and creation aesthetic for movement, design and experience. Based in NYC, the BottomHeavies have shown work at Dixon Place, Danspace Project at St. Mark’s Church, Movement Research at the Judson Church, AUNTS, CATCH, Joyce SoHo, Triskelion Arts and Dance Theater Workshop. She has visited the University of Massachusetts/Amherst and Bowdoin College as a guest lecturer and teaching artist. Her work has taken her to Denmark as a teaching artist, Moscow as a DTW Suitcase Fund guest artist for the Russian Contemporary Dance Platform and is excited to be a part of classclassclass. Rosenblit was a 2009 Fresh Tracks residency recipient and sat on the 2010 selection panel. Rosenblit's recent work, When Them was recently included in Juliette Mapp's Platform 2010 "Back To New York City" presented by Danspace Project. If interested, participation in these three classes could potentially lead to a performance on June 3rd as part of the Movement Research Festival.
