How do your individual habits affect the whole? How can our physical choices create dynamic group shifts? How do we build community through practice and play? \nIn this three-hour lab\, we will dive into Ensemble Thinking™ to explore how our perspective and choices affect our connections and creativity. Using small group and large ensemble dance improvisations\, we’ll compose\, question\, and play with possibilities. \nEnsemble Thinking™ is a system of group\, improvisational\, compositional practices that refine individual capacity to perceive\, initiate\, and support collective action. Ensemble Thinking™ scores research collaboration\, attunement\, awareness\, power\, and choice and build artistic and social community. Through experimenting with foundational scores\, we explore relational space and creative power. The conceptual nature of Ensemble Thinking™ allows for a wide range of access across multiple backgrounds\, aesthetics\, and physical capabilities. No experience or prior knowledge required. \nLet’s dance\, investigate\, and create together! \nLearn more here: Ensemble Thinking™ \nMargaret Sunghe Paek (she/her) \nMargaret Sunghe Paek (she/her) is a mixed-race\, collaborative dance artist\, maker\, and mother practicing deep listening and rigorous play as methodologies of connection\, community-building\, and art-making.
