Nov 15 - Dec 6, 2009, San Francisco
Dancing Making – a series of 3-hour labs for choreographers and performance makers. Looking at concerns in contemporary performance from the perspective of Queer, i.e., critical interventions on normative behavior of gender, race, sexuality…
Using talk & tasks ideas will be proposed, used, responded to, rejected, defended, shifted. What is contemporary dance? And what is it good for? What is trendy, inspiring, useful, new, old, bullshit, difficult, exhausting, inspiring, engaging? Sharing lessons from an award-winning choreographic practice that wanders between socially-engaged Cali queer ritualist & experimental avant-garde NY/Euro conceptualist.
Sundays, 11am-2pm, $10 or $25 for the series.
