FreeStudies Project: Outside in the City
Reframing the Kinetic Experience of the Urban Environment
Moderators: Jennifer Monson and Gillian Lipton
Panelists: Simone Forti, Marisela Lagrave, Alejandra Martorell and Yves Musard
This Studies Project brings together four artists who have engaged the urban environment through dance. We'll discuss the ways that each artist uses teh context of city as material and metaphor for their work and how the moving body, in particular, cna incorporate, appropriate, interpret and reframe the ecology, geography and geometry of the city.
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>.
