MELT - An Eco-poetic Approach to Dance Improvisation and Performance with Chris Aiken

This is a movement workshop that focuses on the development of our poetic sensibilities in conjunction with our capacities to attune to the nested ecological worlds we live in. My approach is based upon the interweaving of technical training with perceptual training and aesthetic research. I view composition and performance as ecologically rooted acts. Movement, culture, politics, stories, images and gestures are imbedded in the relationships that are evolving all around us. Come ready to dance, perceive, perform and imagine.
