Class Description:
Fiction as Fact as Fiction: Making use of narrative as a means to not necessarily narrational ends.
This workshop will employ the use of writing as an impetus for building choreographic material and exploring performance states. Individual improvisation and group experience will be built on material written in the moment. The degree to which stories are veiled or revealed is up to the participant. Artists of all disciplines welcome. Bring pen and paper.
