Class Class Imitation, invention, re-actionism and devotion This class will work on the class form as art object. Using all our experience as class takers we will become class makers, paying attention to choices of form and content as potential meaning generators. Using each other as students we will explore the performative position of teacher, student and of the transmitted information. Language choices, voice modulation, style of transmission, identity of "studio", teacher attire, general ambiance, time framing, invented and existing techniques will be implicated as well as the over-all rhythm of the object. Imitation, invention, re-actionism and devotion are all welcome starting points. More creative and compositional than pedagogic, this workshop address itself to dancers who feel comfortable improvising and shifting roles from teacher to student fluidly.
