Site-Responsive Solo Creation Workshop

Site-Responsive Solo Creation Workshop

in Victoria BC

Explore a creative process designed to generate creative material that can be developed to create performance material.

Using somatic, improvisation, dance, voice, contemporary performance and theatre techniques to create material that seeks to layer the experiences of the individual and the land.

Over the workshop we’ll explore and source solo physical material, respond to the landscapes that we choose to explore, and then join them in a creative process and performance score to see what emerges.

We will explore 3 different landscapes. We’ll discuss different performance perspectives. A workshop open to all who have an embodied or physical creation/performance practice across disciplines and traditions.
