The Instrument | embodying musicality
Exploring the themes of sound, rhythm and harmony through multiple modes of listening; physically, cognitively, intuitively - this workshop handles the embodiment of music in improvisation and composition. Acknowledging our inherent melodic and rhythmical qualities, the practice aims to create a vibrant sense of musicality within our dancing and choreographic materials.
Integrating touch, articulation, flow and momentum; we will be following the passions these elements evoke, while interpreting tempo, linearity and velocity. While working with live music, we will highlight the kinesthetic connection between the musician's and dancer's physical orientation, gesture and presence. Accompanied by the live playing of Roy Carroll (electroacoustic-media), participants will encounter the complementary, urgent and immediate interplay between sound / music and dance.
The workshop is aimed for movers, dancers, musicians and performers who wish to engage with the physical dynamic of instant composition. Movement /dance background experience is required.
