SOAK SUMMER LAB ’15 is a practice in process intensive for advanced and professional dancers focusing on:

(1) RESEARCH

(2) METHODOLOGY

(3) REPERTORY to be REIMAGINED + DEVOURED by the INDIVIDUAL.

SOAK is for the experienced and critically conscious performer that is curious in de/constructing and applying their work beyond the convention of the proscenium. EQUALLY PHYSICAL + MINDFUL, this intimate workshop aims to remind and reconsider the dancing body and its slippery, realistic relationship to the architecture of time, space and dually occupying bodies on the contemporary “stage”. Kneepads and layers to protect the shoulders are advised, as there will be a great deal of floor work.

SOAK will take place on Friday July 17 from 12 - 3pm at the Mark Morris Dance Center (Cole Studio).

DANIELLE RUSSO PERFORMANCE PROJECT is a network of movement-based artists that design conceptual performances for unconventional formats. Its mission is to create earnest, intellectual escapes that are not only widely accessible but strike personal relevance and cultural response. Its world is unapologetically vulnerable; rigor and nuance are handled with equal care in a focused and honest physicality.

Danielle Russo has been presented nationally at the American Dance Festival, Jacob's Pillow and The Yard; and internationally in Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Mexico, Panama, South Korea, Spain and Sweden. Local NYC highlights include the Ace Hotel, Armory Arts Week, Julian Schnabel’s Casa del Popolo, CPR, Gowanus Art + Production, HERE Arts and La MaMa, to name a few.
