DESCRIPTION:

The great Simone Forti pioneered talking and dancing and many of us have continued with similar practices.

Playing with perception and movement Zornitsa Stoyanova will lead the group toward speaking and composing with movement and language. She will offer ways in which to bring forth language and use sounding, gibberish, wording, and actual language in finding potential for meaning. We will work with the abstraction of poetics as well as the specifics of story and description.

This class is open to seasoned performers, improvisation practitioners as well as everyone regardless of previous movement practice who is interested in using their body and their senses through movement, as a springboard for interrogating language. This is above all a movement workshop, where dance and movement are used as the base for composing with language.
