HOTBED Workshop w/ Jo Lloyd
Sat 4 & Sun 5 Dec
10am – 4pm (with 1hr lunch break)
Live/in person at WXYZ Studios
Two consecutive days of continuous dancing, pausing occasionally for a conference.
Trialling and finding alternative means available to recall, revisit, and collect the dance.
Gaining information from how others read your dance, in order to understand and find vocabularies.
Entertaining ‘surrealisation’ and working with spontaneity to erase doubt.
What do we need to know in order to do/ perform the dance?
Distracted by imagining—exploiting distraction as a driver for the dance, working with simultaneity and sustaining single focus.
How do you form the unresolved dance?
This workshop is suited to dancers with some training/experience—including recent graduates, current students, trained dancers.
