Decomposing dance...choreographing breath is a workshop that asks questions through decolonizing and decomposing our expectation of dance making, vocal expression, and choreography. What is dance composition? What is dance (de)composition?

Previous Shebang events

    MAKING our way is a workshop for encountering and choreographing the material of our selves through starting with what we know and then leaning into what we don’t know. We’ll start with non-theoretical, simple approaches to nonstop moving and speaking, then progressively play, and sometimes grapple, with the impossible possibility of attending to multiple tools and strategies in the continuous present. If time, space, matter, and circumstances are moving faster than we can track, can we sharpen some tools to be more aware and present, using tools of dance as a process of being on the way?

    This workshop is open to folks of all disciplines and experiences willing to do these things while sometimes or sometimes often not knowing why or what is being produced from it.
