Score to Dance Infinite Realities…

We improvise drawing from body-based imagination and exploring hybrid practices – working from techniques and images lodged in the body. Participants are invited to work from their own personal desires, body archive and ways of dancing to dance a dance that is constantly forming and reforming. 


Score to Dance Infinite Realities… is a kind of rigorous attentional training. 

Score to Dance Infinite Realities… activates the wandering mind to disrupt points of view, and to practice new ways of imagining, dancing and sensing the self.

We begin class with a warmup based in bio-mechanical, emotional, sensorial and metaphorical imagery. We will follow improvisation exercises of various kinds to access as much variety in dancing as we can. We nourish the Score to Dance Infinite Realities… by situating ourselves in a shared reality; drawing from texts, images and articles … from studio practitioners, artists, philosophers…

The Score to Dance Infinite Realities… is sourced from the score in Katie Ward’s choreography, Anything Whatsoever. From this starting point, Marie Claire and Katie developed this score.

Class Rhythm – Variable rhythm

Accessibility Features – Exercises are adaptable

Workshop is geared towards: For dance and interdisciplinary artists seeking to deepen improvisation, expand compositional tools, and develop an autonomous creative practice.

About Katie Ward

Dance artist Katie Ward works and creates in Tiohtiá:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. She draws from the inner world of the self – an experience of change connected to the world. Katie’s work emerges from the field of research-based choreography and expanded choreographic practice, creating the conditions for forms, relationships, and meanings to emerge, and inviting audiences to repeatedly revise what they think they are seeing.

Katie has developed stage-based dance performances, spectator-led works, a radio performance, and projects created for other unconventional spaces. Katie offers workshops, practice-sharing, and artistic exchange. She has presented her work in the UK, France, the USA, Québec and across Canada. With Marie Claire Forté, Katie continues to develop the score to dance infinite realities – a practice sharing that actualises dancer’s ever-changing embodied imagination – for dancing that continually forms and re-forms itself. Katie holds a Master of Theatre Practices from Artez University, in Arnhem, Netherlands.
