The Expansive Artist
This seminar, grounded in confronting and dissolving boundaries of creativity, draws from the infinite possibilities of the body by utilizing William Forsythe’s Improvisation Modalities, as the foundational thread, to inspire further artistic expression. Participants bring their chosen focus into the room and join it with physical alphabets and movement modalities to produce an integration of brain and body.
This particular improvisational technique enables each person to access their yet unknown creativity by visualizing and interpreting their body in space – a different version of space! It fosters other art forms into enhanced realms of thought and physicality that can alter opinion and free the imagination to flow. This work allows students to discover and access the inspiration that the body has to offer. The whole room works synergistically because the participants create and speak the same physical language. Action slides easily into thespace.
Every course manifests differently. This new language is easy to learn and later refer to because it is rooted in easily accessible technique. It is a gratifying challenge that will help any person glide into the flow of energy that coordinates mind and body. This method will not only enhance your idea of space, but also will open your art to another level entirely.
