Emboying Time & Music with Maya M. Carroll
The dancing body moves in and through time, timing and tempo, through many layers of listening. Our practice in this group is about consciously and physically diving into the exploration of these layers and deepening our sense of musicality.
By appreciating the dynamics within our improvised / pre-written compositions both linearly and atmospherically, and being attentive to punctuation, rhythmicity and continuum; the work aims to create a vibrant relationship between our movement and our perception of time. By listening to music (from different periods, with/without words, contemporary, popular, classical, experimental), we explore the relationship between harmonic/disharmonic sounds and our embodiment; physically, intuitively, culturally and emotionally.
Our practice incorporates touch, flow, articulation and momentum as guiding techniques. By following these gestures and their inner rhythms, we study and encounter the complementary, playful and urgent interaction between physical movement, music and dance.
The course is aimed at movement artists, dancers, musicians and performers. Basic movement/dance experience is required.

The Instrument teaching is a physical practice through the articulation of movement in time, space and the imagination. The classes engage with composition in real time, encouraging flow, precision and bodily wisdom as a pathway to dance making and performance. Involving attentiveness, musicality, collective and personal experiences; we work with presence, choice, vision and the interplay between movement and image. Engaging these elements in the process of dance making, the work takes its fascination in relationships between people, environments and choreographic narratives.
