Saturdays, November 3 & 17, 1:30-5:30pm
$30 each, $55 for both

These workshops are opportunities for artists and students with an interest in movement investigation to reflect, breathe, and revitalize creatively through improvisation as movement research. Sessions will begin on the floor to bring attention and interest to the particular body we are inhabiting, breath and release, followed by introductory body-voice work. Participants focus on approaches to devising, especially through the use of improvisation scores with writing, speaking, and music. This will include working through individual inclinations and group structures with an emphasis on process and experimentation.



Fiona Wright (UK) has been making mostly solo performances since the late 1980s. Her approach is located in physicality, influenced by release-based and somatic practices such as Feldenkrais Method. She also works collaboratively, particularly in an independent dance duet company in the UK with Caroline Bowditch, girl jonah. Recent work includes a series of solo performance lectures titled other versions of an uncertain body, and also several short five minute works made for a solo spectator and repeated over several hours by the performer. She is a freelance University lecturer, a mentor and dramaturg and is currently a Visiting Artist, teaching at The School of the Art Institute for the Fall Semester. In February 07 she presented an early version of her new solo On Lying at Links Hall in the OPENPORT Festival and returns with the more developed work November 30 & December 1.
