Embodying Time and Music – The Instrument
Workshop
with
Maya M. Carroll
In the frame of Summer/ing at Tanzfabrik
The dancing body moves in and through time, timing and tempo, through many listening layers. Our practice in this workshop is to consciously and physically dive into exploring these layers and deepen our sense of musicality. Appreciating the dynamics inside our improvised / set compositions both linearly and atmospherically, and attentive to singular punctuation, rhythmicality and a large-continuum; the work aims to create a vibrant relationship between our movement and our perception of time. The practice integrates touch, flow, articulation and momentum as guiding techniques. Following these gestures and their rhythms, we study and encounter the complementary, playful and urgent interplay between physical motion, music and dance.
The workshop is aimed for movers, dancers, musicians and performers. Movement /dance background experience is required.
