Groove Decomposition

Groove Decomposition is a methodology that explores how to dismantle learned movement patterns to find your own bodily vocabulary. Through body dramaturgy, we investigate the echoes of memories and rhythms that each body holds.

The process works in three phases: dismantling the imposed, deep listening to authentic impulse, and building new ways of moving. Participants explore what stories their body tells and how to create from that personal truth.

Open to artists, movement researchers, and anyone curious to reconnect with their authentic corporeal expression. No prior training needed.

These sessions will explore massage as a self care practice working towards maintaining a healthy, sustainable physical practice, while deepening our understanding of the body. Massage can be integrated as a way to exit one's dance practice and return to yourself, while processing and integrating the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of our day. Shannon is a sports massage therapist and will guide us through both self-massage and partner massage techniques.

Ecological Bodies

In this session, we will delve into improvisation in the body that echoes knowledge of ecology and wisdom in dancefloor spaces. What happens when we curate a collective space of nesting to allow the body to access its unique movement language in conjunction with nature's cyclical experience and movement? This improv session is a process of environmental stewardship and a practice of harnessing resilience in the face of poetic calamities and shifts in landscapes.
