Moving Words into Motion: choreographic workshop
On Thursday 27th July, Liz facilitated a choreographic workshop for artists working for Tracks Dance Company.
The workshop was designed to create space for investigating dance as a medium to explore stories expressed in written text.
Participants were invited to bring to the workshop a piece of text – ideally handwritten – which was meaningful to them (e.g., a letter, a diary entry, a poem or other creative writing).
Through a layered devising process guided by Liz, they developed movement in response to expression, phrasing and handwriting of their chosen text.
Tracks dance artists worked with great openness, curiosity and sensitivity to create distinct solo choreographic material.
Great to read about your workshop activities ‘downunder’ Liz. These pages are really interesting to get a flavour of the project. There is an amazing breadth and depth to the project. Hope you are enjoying every moment. Greetings from far away in Newcastle upon Tyne UK, your colleague Kay.
