Workshop: Choreographic Writing
December 7, 2024 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm MST
Artist in residence Maxine Flasher-Düzgüneş will lead an introduction to using poetry scores in the creation of movement. It will consist of a physical and written improvisatory warm-up using the language aesthetics of erasure poetry technique, a form of found poetry where pre-existing text is blacked out to form new sequences of text. The warm-up will be followed by a composition exercise with poetry scores and an opportunity to share discoveries made within the creative process.
Workshop participants will have the opportunity to contribute their own poems as well as respond to the poems through movement. All poems by attendees will be displayed at Surel’s Place during open studio hours and during a culminating installation at the end of the month.
This workshop has been offered both online and in-person at NYU Tisch, University of Roehampton, Shawl Anderson Dance Center, Big Sky Workshop, The Writer’s Nest, The Collective SF, Ruth Asawa School of the Arts, Gallery Route One, CalPoets in the Schools, and more!
Date was changed from 11/23 to 12/7 to allow for increased participation.
