Facilitated by Charles Koroneho
In partnership with Jeanette Kotowich and the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.
Mornings
Movement Culture Workshop explores spatial activation, an eclectic movement vocabulary, set and improvised material within a continuous movement field. Hybrid movement sessions are fast paced; emphasizing the moving body in space, improved mobility, speed, coordination and spatial orientation. Training is focused on hybridizing dance, body weather laboratory, mau rakau, martial arts and somatic research practices.
Movement sessions may include work with objects, partnered bodywork, specific stretching, relaxation exercises focused on breathing, alignment and contact.
Afternoons
Tua o Te Arai is an exploration of bereavement, funeral practices and lamentation. The workshop will focus on funeral, cemetery and burial art to explore movement and improvisation for performance making.
Creativity sessions explore sensitivity training, structured improvisation and specific techniques for developing a body of internal landscapes, performance persona and characterizations.
Sessions are designed to sharpen focus and develop a diverse range of choreographic explorations, performance devising, scripting or co-authoring and may be experienced as individuals, in small groups or larger ensemble.
