What is The Creation Lab? It’s an invitation to dancers and movers who wish to explore the language and strategies of CI in the context of choreography and performance. While appreciating the varying approaches and styles of individual practitioners and collectives, we aim to research common threads that recur through the form and use shared language to heighten communication, galvanize creativity, and fuel development of personal styles. Drawing on their distinctive backgrounds and experiences in CI, Tal and Jungwoong will lead workshops designed to address the following elements: - Gaining experience with and literacy in CI’s movement language
- Finding personal excitement and pleasure in the form
- Identifying and unblocking barriers to being present and responsive
- Developing scores and score-making as vehicles for self-expression and collective creativity
Workshops will be geared to engage each participant’s abilities and challenges. Join us for a silent journey into our collective somatic intelligence through enlivened dance and warm community. What is a CoCo Jam? Community Collaborative Jams are a new and unfolding program concept at Earthdance which launched in early 2022. This new programming thread was driven by the desire for more opportunities to dance CI and to connect with the community in smaller containers. Like Seasonal Jams, the CoCo jam has one or more hosts that, rather than always being professional artists with strong facilitation skills, can be dedicated Earthdance community members and upcoming dancers building their leadership skills. Support staff is also more limited compared to our seasonal jams and participants are invited into a higher degree of autonomy and self-care. Similarly, the workshop offerings and schedule are also more influenced by the community members themselves and created on a more adhoc basis. Tal and Jungwoong will host the opening arrival jam as well as workshops on Friday, while Saturday will be open to offerings by community members. On Sunday morning we will celebrate all we have shared and learned with a soft-focus Jam. For more information and to register, click here.
