This is PLOT 3 of Core Dance's Summer Intensive - DIG.
This workshop is taught by Luke Murphy.
Moving Wild Workshop
Moving for purpose, moving for function, moving for desire, moving for survival. In this workshop we will first build tools to access the widest sphere of our physical reach in space and apply them to various purposes. Does movement change with purpose or is it just our experience that changes? Harnessing the potential inside forces of gravity, coil, momentum and drifting we will find efficiency of effort in our muscularity and build complex sequences to trick our balance and disorientate our expectations. After establishing our broadest physical availability we will challenge ourselves to apply our skills both new and old in unfamiliar physical, emotional and psychological directions. Using adaptations of Stanislavski systems to confront physical and emotional states we will examine the relationship between movement, purpose and meaning for both the performer and audience.
