FreeThe Space of Dance
The Movement Between Inner and Outer Landscapes
Moderator: Margit Galanter
Panelists: K.J. Holmes, Robert Kocik, Yvonne Meier, DD Dorvillier and koosil-ja hwang
This Studies Project will explore the role of space and place in movement construction. Our focus will be on the in-between: the unique interactions of the inner and outer poles of experience. Our mental furniture and imagination affects how we understand the exterior and how we make movement. A layer of observation on space provides tools for improvisation and shows that our actions are, in fact, all creative inventions, but how? What are the similarites between virtual and kinesthetic space? The panelists and participants will investigate the space of dance in dialogue and in action.
Studies Project Series: An artist-curated series of panel discussions, performances and/or other formats that focus on provocative and timely issues confronting the dance community. Proposals for Studies Projects are accepted on an ongoing basis and reviewed by an Artist Committee and staff. The Fall 2004 Studies Projects will take place on December 1 and December 8, 2004, as part of the MR Festival 2004: Improvisation is Hard>.
