Movement Culture Workshop is a 5-day creative intensive, a philosophically intercultural and interdisciplinary research forum. Creative concepts are practitioner centric, emphasizing individual artistic processes and sharing collaborative and communal practices. Movement explorations are focused on hybridizing dance, body weather laboratory, mau rakau, martial arts and movement research practices. A foundational idea for the workshop is the emergence of the communal body and activation of relational space.
The workshop is designed for movement exploration and activation of the body in space. It is intended to be both physically and creatively rigorous. Please consider this aspect of the workshop before submitting your application.
Classes take place at the Scotibank Dance Centre in Vancouver, BC on the unceeded Coast Salish territories of the Squamish, Tsleil-Watauth, and Musquem First Nations.
