SUMMARY:ChoreoLAB: Merging Influences
DESCRIPTION:ChoreoLABs are workshops that explore the art of dance making. We introduce and explore various choreographic tools that help dance makers generate their own authentic movement\, find new ways to synthesize phrases\, and hone compositional skills. Open to dance artists of all genres and levels\, these workshops encourage participants to develop their own choreographic voice. \nIn ChoreoLAB: MERGING INFLUENCES\, we’ll play with our choreographic toolbox while looking through the lens of heritage and culture. We’ll explore movement generation\, using various tools and prompts. We’ll look at ways to manipulate our own movements. We’ll create short phrases and share them\, and then discuss our outcomes and learnings. Together\, we’ll explore how cultural identity can influence our dance making\, regardless of our practiced dance form. \nThings to Bring \n\nPen/pencil and notebook (or something to take notes on).\nSuggest a phone or something to video record yourself\, but not required.\nWater and snacks – we will have short breaks.\nWear comfortable clothing and be prepared for movement.\nNo outside shoes in the studio – bare feet\, socks\, or studio only shoes.\nJoyce Lien Kushner is of Taiwanese descent and will be using examples from her heritage. If interested in exploring your own cultural heritage\, please bring:\n\nshort poem or literature passage from your heritage\nlinks to videos of traditional dances from your heritage (2 videos should suffice)

SUMMARY:Relational Body – Contact Improvisation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Argentinian teacher Jonathan Brussolo is traveling through San Diego and we have a special opportunity to learn from him! \nFrom Jonathan\n“In these classes we will consider our attention as a resource that allows us a finer and more sensitive awareness of our bodies\, and from which we can explore the different systems and structures of our anatomy\, awakening greater presence and awareness in our physicalities… \nwhat we feel becomes present. \nWe will explore how refining our attention can establish a dialogue between physical sensations and relational perception. In the constant dialogue between internal and external perception\, perhaps the distinction between them can begin to dissolve. \nFrom this basis we will enter into movement\, the encounter with space\, and bodies as spaces of dance. Inhabiting ourselves\, we will allow ourselves to be danced by the encounter. We will see dance and contact as a river of information that enters and leaves our bodies\, connecting us with the planet and its inherent forces.” \nhttps://forms.gle/Qfh3RoXYeeNgdmQ29
