This class will merge science and creativity with improvised human motion. The aim is to use dance as a way of accessing heightened consciousness and proprioception in a way that allows for more fluent creativity. Movement improvisation as a group will be guided by ideas about energy, entropy, turbulence and other processes and properties that are commonly known but poorly understood. Participants will walk away with a deeper intuition into these entities.
The workshops will be led by Riley Watts, professional dancer with the William Forsythe Company (Germany) and fluid dynamics expert Larry Pratt of the Woods Hole Oceanographic/MIT Joint Program. Please contact Larry Pratt, by email, to register.
