Score to Dance Infinite Realities with Katie Ward

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.
