"As an improvising artist in both music and movement, the events of collision_theory have long been a fantasy of mine. In dance contexts, music is often relegated to an ancillary, 'wallpaper' status. Curating the series affords me an opportunity to see artists whom I admire from both disciplines performing together on a level plane—and to share that experience with a unique audience of dance, music, and improvisation enthusiasts alike. This is very exciting." ~ Dan Mohr

The Mindful Body:
Cultivating Intentional and Intensified Presence for Performance
With Naropa University’s Wendell Beavers
 This workshop invites physical actors and dancers to deepen their movement vocabulary and stage presence through learning the techniques of Wendell Beavers, Master Teacher and founder of the Naropa University’s Contemporary Performance Program. Beavers’ groundbreaking form combines principles of body/mind centering, Viewpoints, kinesthetic awareness and imagery. Participants will develop multi-layered compositional skills to apply towards choreography as pure movement, choreography for the theater, and physical presence as the foundation for both naturalistic acting and transformational physical states.
Wendell Beavers is a dancer, choreographer, teacher and faculty member and founder of Naropa University’s MFA Theater, Contemporary Performance Program. He is one of three major teachers and developers of The Viewpoints, along with originator Mary
Overlie and the director Anne Bogart.
