This workshop is for the artist who wishes to deepen, provoke or propel his/her movement practice, guided by the fluid structure of Shanahan's direction, suggestion and support. Emphasis is placed on identifying and softening limiting boundaries with both courage and gentleness, reframing judgment to allow for delight and discovery, and expanding witnessing, to become more aware of potential and choice. Shanahan directs this journey with invitations to move, observe and relish in discovering. No particular emphasis is placed on performance. Movers need to be emotionally mature, able to self-reflect and curious about their own capacity to learn from themselves.
Quick and Dirty Creation and Performance Workshop
Join Molly Shanahan and 8-10 advanced movers for one week of intensive creation, culminating in an informal public presentation.
Shanahan directs and choreographs an original work, created through compositional modalities that emphasize the participant's unique voice, expose Shanahan's current movement research and core values, and engage questions of presence, ensemble communication and establishing viable creative containers for appropriate risk and individual development into new territory, with an emphasis on rigor, detail and intuitive response. This year we are offering two opportunities for the Quick and Dirty. Interested dancers may take one or both.
