In this workshop we share movement research and scores drawn from our combined practice of making performance together. We consider improvisation techniques as a way of stimulating the imagination to create dances in real-time. Our aim is to create dances together through a focus on body and musicality. We move with each other in a way that we can really ‘hear’ the images that the dance is creating. We think of movement in terms of what it would sound like if it were music, and how the dance can be ‘listened to’. This focus on musicality brings a nuanced articulation to individual movement and a deepened listening in group compositions. The movement research that we propose comes from somatic imagery that softens the body into listening and expressivity. We will deepen into this embodied attention to open up easeful movement pathways. Working together as a group we will share musicality and imagination to create dances together.
