CONTACT EXCHANGE w/ Performance Focus @ Breitenbush Hot Sorings

[Sarah Vox]

Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat Center- Detroit, Oregon
January 10-15, 2010
CONTACT EXCHANGE w/ Performance Focus
Facilitated by TouchMonkey, Carolyn Stuart and Patrick Gracewood

Why perform? Why not perform?
What is performance? What is not performance?

Come dive into the what/when/where/who/why/how of it!!

For 5 days Carolyn and Patrick will facilitate and participate in an
investigation of performance and contact improvising . They've been
exploring this subject for over 20 years, fascinated with the unfolding,
ever revealing experience of making dance. To support the process of
inquiry, discovery and presentation they propose the following daily
schedule-

9-11 authentic movement warm-up
11-1 inquiry and research
3-6 inquiry and research
8-9 presentation
9-10 debrief

All levels are welcome. This is an opportunity for, both, those with
experience and those beginning, to explore their relationship to
'performance'- seeing and being seen, experiencing and sharing.....
Each begins from where they are. We do our own research and we exchange
with each other. The content of the event will be determined by the
curiosity and expression of those present.

What is it to explore?
What is it to present?
What is it to witness?

This event is an ideal place to experiment, to develop and to share your
dance. Use the next couple months to hone your curiosity. Then come
enjoy the supportive cocoon of Breitenbush and the hot springs in the
heart of winter to do your research.

Exchange, cross-pollination is our evolution. By traveling to meet,
dance and discover we weave a web that wraps the world in contact
improvising......... !
