So excited to have the opportunity to develop new work at this stunning residency in Maine. Director/Actress/Educator, K. Elizabeth Stevens, will be joining me to explore contemporary line dancing, cults, and climate change.
I would love your help building a new dance. The work is an experiment where I gather movement material choreographed by my extended community, build several dance pieces based on those movements, and teach sections of movement to a large group of people. Ideally, performers will be a mix of folks who DO and DO NOT consider themselves “DANCERS”.
Here’s where you come in! I’m hoping to collect videos of short movement phrases made by a variety of friends, collegues, dancers, movers…YOU! (16 to 48 counts if possible - Due by next Tues. June 7). Just a simple video from your phone should do the trick - Movement that simply makes you giggle and happy to do it. Nothing fancy, just fun. Think about movement that most people could perform or could be easily modified. With your permission, I will start to mix, remix, order and reorder everyones movement phrases into one big beautiful work made by all of us. Submit your awesome videos here: https://www.dropbox.com/request/HOuJp0GkKEMNesz8Nzh4
