PROCESS & PROJECT SUPPORT 

What Pilots An Idea – How Do You Get At It, Wrangle it, Illuminate it?
The right conversation can change everything.

• You’re tired of working in isolation, you need creative interaction or a new framework.
• You’re in the final stages and need a critical eye, a collaborator.
• You want to discover new processes and systems to generate ideas and material.
• You need suport and systems to maintain and sustain yourself as a creative human in all realms.

A crossroads is an indicator, it is the point, the place, the juncture, the intersection before growth happens and impactful change occurs. It is a gorgeous and windy space to step into. It is transformative. I architect custom creative engagement and guidance that is engineered to support your growth, discovery and exploration in the pursuit of what matters most to you creatively. Not only for your process and exploration, but for building your work from the ideas up.

CREATING ACROSS DISCIPLINES 

Instant ensemble + solo work. This studio course takes an interdisciplinary approach to devising performance. Together we will pool our collective experiences to work through these questions: How can we learn to see and create differently? How can we mine deeper meaning within creative exploration and translate it into form? With class time balanced between individual and ensemble investigations, the course will integrate set movement, structured improvisation and written, visual and sonic prompts designed to lead you toward the invention of your own work. Participants are asked to develop and curate materials throughout the course to construct solo projects.

ENGAGING IN THE ARTS, NYC 

Engaging in the arts is integral to any New York Experience. It is rich with work from all disciplines and voices, including your own. For this course we will meet as a creative research team to analyze, appreciate and respond to a variety of diverse art events. Our fidelity will be to the process of creative investigation and experimentation as a form of deeper listening and understanding.

INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE 

This studio course takes a multi-disciplinary approach to devising performance and creating text, movement and visual material. Together we will pool our collective experiences to work through these questions:

• How can we learn to read, interpret and jockey ideas across platforms?
• How can we see and create differently?
• How can we mine deeper meaning within creative exploration and translate it into form?
• How can this inform and deepen your own work?

With class time balanced between individual and ensemble investigations, the course will integrate set movement, structured improvisation and written, visual and sonic prompts as an engine to lead you toward the invention of your own work.

Designed as an intensive eight-week course or full semester. Individual time is scheduled for mentoring solo projects. Workshops can be structured for shorter periods.

BODY TIME SPACE

The performer is a vector of information. Physical, intuitive, reflexive presence is the root of the instrument. Space is the medium for live performance. We will become more conscious in occupying, activating and collaborating with it. We will focus on building physical presence, address fundamental biomechanics, and expression through warm-ups, set movement, structured improvisations and movement invention.

SPONTANEOUS COMPOSITION 

An immediate way of activating an ensemble of any size into action and practice.

By learning and applying creative research, set contextual, spatial criteria, and movement we build a world, one that builds accumulatively through structured improvisation / spontaneous composition. We will build a complex improvisational / practice structure built to run itself via internal cues and events setting it all into motion and flux.

BODY WORK 

All work is body based.
Body work means so many different things to so many different bodies.
It’s been a joy to partner with my clients for several decades. They are creatives, self-starters, performers, musicians, actors who want to train smart and build sustainable and fiercely intelligent bodies. Much like you, actually.
Body Work is offered on its own and combined with creative integrative practices.
