We are incredibly excited to kick off our #geochoreography adventure! It all started when the <a href="http://www.impulsedancecenter.com/">Connecting Point Dance Company</a>, one of the youth companies from <a href="http://www.instagram.com/impulsedancenatick">Impulse Dance Center</a> in Natick where Karen and Nicole work, took a trip to NYC in April. Karen and Nicole put together "travel adventure" books for them filled with challenges, projects and ideas to keep them busy while on the road and once they got to New York, got them looking at the city in a new and creative way. When they returned with their findings the rest of the Rep Modern class wanted to participate, too. So, two more books were born. One for the pair of students traveling overseas over April break and one for the gang staying in Natick. The more books we made the more we realized that this could be a great way to get EVERYONE looking at the world like a giant arts residency!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For our first month we are partnering with the <a href="http://www.instagram.com/cnc_little_library">Clary and Cimermanis Little Library</a> and their <a href="http://www.getcaughtreading.org/">Get Caught Reading Mont</a>h campaign! All of our #geochoreography prompts (posted to our social media each Friday) are book related. <b><i>We also challenge you to take a photo or video of you reading! (Bonus points if you are dancing while reading!)</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just in case you aren't on social media, you can find all of May's prompts here! Post your responses in the comments or on any social media using #geochoreography! We will feature as many responses as we can!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thanks in advance for being part of this exciting adventure!</div>

<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In an unusual turn of events there's really nothing happening dance-wise in Boston during April. I'm taking the opportunity to watch (or re-watch) some awesome dance films and documentaries like <i>Pina, Singing in the Rain, </i>and <i>Billy Elliot.</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yes I am kidding. Here is my selective sampling of the the thousand and one dance events happening in Boston this month, please let me know if you make it to all of them because I would be extremely impressed.</span></div>

<span style="color: #fce5cd; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This might be the Boston Dance community at its most community oriented. The people that take class at the Dance Complex are novices and professionals, people with many careers and whole other lives who take a couple hours a week to throw themselves into something they love. If you want to go see an incredible variety of dance styles and dancers perform with joy and enthusiasm, go see this show. </span><div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">There is a thriving social dance scene in Boston, and a lot of the people who participate in one community cross pollinate with others. Some intrepid members of the Blues Dance community and the Chicago Step community started going to each others events and decided that we should all hang out together, and thus, Boston Blend was born! This is the inaugural event, and it is a day absolutely packed with workshops and performances in Blues and Step, and a SOUL FOOD BUFFET DINNER which would be worth the price of admission all by itself. It is also smack in the middle of my neighborhood, so if you decide to go, you will see me there!</span></span><div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">If the title of this show looks like a Monkeyhouse FAQ I am here to let you know that I feel the same way. I'm interested to see what a completely separate group of humans did with one of our favorite questions. From the website: "<i>WHAT MOVES YOU?</i> is a unique collaboration between three distinct choreographic voices: Francesca Harper, Jill Johnson, and Mario Zambrano. Together, they have collaborated with The Harvard Dance Project (HDP) dancers and associate HDP student artists, composed of singers, poets, musicians, and writers, to create a work that is both responding to and asking the governing question: “What moves you?” This question was posed to the cast to create movement phrases and choreographic structure, and resulted in a series of personal stories adapted through motion."</span></span><span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thurs, April 14 - Sat, </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">April 16 @ 8 pm</span></span></span></div>

To learn more, contact our Audience Services Manager at (617) 912-9142." If you have someone in your life for whom his may be relevant, share it with them. Accessibility for the neuro-diverse is MASSIVELY under served in the arts community, and it should be celebrated and taken advantage of when it is offered. This show features incredible young dancers and internationally acclaimed choreographers: Doug Varone, Keith A. Thompson, Adam Hougland and Dwight Rhoden; I wo</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">uld see this show and support these people for their inclusiveness alone.</span></span></div>

They will be showing works from their 5 years as a company and 2 new works by Joe Gonzalez and Diaman Wood, which has the advantage of allowing the audience to see work they may otherwise have missed and also allowing us to see how the company has grown over time. If you're looking to get to know a new dance company, this is the one I'd pick.</span></span></div>

"From the legendary Farruco dynasty, the first family of Gypsy flamenco dance, Farruquito is regarded as one of the most faithful representatives of flamenco puro." He regards his new show <i>Improvisao </i>as a "return to his roots", so if you're interested in seeing one of the best Flamenco dancers in the world, </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #fce5cd;">definitely go see this show.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: orange;">Fri & Sat, March 11 &12 @ 8 pm</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #fce5cd; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The description for this show makes me think of the incredible Fleur d'Orange, which is more than enough to make me want to go: "Twelve French-Algerian and African male dancers, mostly coming from street dance and hip-hop backgrounds, perform the Boston premiere of Ce que le jour doit à la nuit (What the Day Owes the Night), a highly physical, stunningly fluid work that combines capoeira, martial arts, and urban and contemporary dance with powerful Sufi imagery."</span><div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">This new show from Kelley Donovan and Dancers explores how health and well being informs the creative process, a theme near and dear to Monkeyhouse and it's dancers. I'm interested to see their take on what is often a deeply personal subject.</span></span>

The performance schedule is slightly different each night, featuring at least one classic repertory piece alongside new choreography. I think this is a perfect excuse to see it every night, but that's just me.</span><br />

<span style="color: #fce5cd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am so incredibly excited about this show (partly because I'm stage managing, so I might be biased)! Monkeyhouse favorites, Paradise Lost is thrilled to premier 4 new pieces from choreographers Shannon Sweeny, Cassie Samuels, Gabriel Nesser and Artistic Director Tyler Catanella. These new pieces "explore cycles and repetition within human nature and relationships. Whether told through the story of a silent family at a dinner table, two couples waking up at sunset on a grassy hill, or three ghosts stuck in a purgatory, Paradise Lost asks: How do we escape from the cycles that trap us? Where can we find the strength to break free from those that tie us down? What does it take for us to let go and move forward? Let's get lost!"</span><br />

<span style="color: #fce5cd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Acoustica Electronica has returned to Boston, and March 25 is your last night to see the show! An electric mix of aerialists, dancers, theater and live opera music, this show has been described as "Cirque du Soleil meets a rave" which is my personal ideal night out. Once the show is over, the party continues on into the small hours, so prepare to dance the night away!</span><br />

<span style="color: #fce5cd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Choreographers Residency program at the BCA continues enabling artists to produce really stellar work. Choreographer Kat Nasti describes <i>The Glorious Mediocre</i> as a "memoir of the mundane". Through a mash-up of Broadway and modern dance, she reflects on her own childhood in a rather unspectacular town and explores the fruitless pursuits of mortals with song, dance, and a healthy amount of sarcasm.</span><br />

Including a 15-minute performance by each company, DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!

These women are incredible dancers, and this show features live music composed by the Grammy Award-winning George Caldwell in tribute to John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme".</span></span><br />

Multiple award winners, they will be performing <i>The Dawn</i> in it's Boston area premiere.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">by Aisha Cruse</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #fce5cd;">The countdown to Christmas has begun, and The Nutcracker is everywhere you turn. But if you're not really a fan, have already seen every Nutcracker in Boston, or you're just looking for something new, don't worry, I've got you covered.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: orange;">Fri & Sat, December 4 & 5 @ 8 pm </span></span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.dancecomplex.org/Dance_Complex_Events.htm" target="_blank">Gumdrops & The Funny Uncle</a></span><br />
<div>

<span style="color: orange; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">at The Dance Complex in Central Square, Cambridge MA</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">$22/ $18 children and BDA members</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm just going to quote the event page:"The show was created to offer a way for those who might identify alternatively to the idea of belonging to a family, being of multiple families or celebrating their families of choice. Created by Peter DiMuro, Gumdrops & The Funny Uncle has toured both coasts, always featuring professional dancers performing alongside communities, whose dancing and stories invigorate the show. The holidays can often intensify our feelings of feeling “in” or “out” of our family and social circles. Building on a series of workshops DiMuro offered - “Coming Out for Straight People and Their Friends”, where life lessons from the LGBTQ community were shared as information for all, he found there was strength in the process of active belonging, of choosing one’s circle, that could also be a learning and questioning tool among those who feel other." If you're struggling with the holidays this year, this might be a great way to "un-pack" holiday stress.</span><br />

<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA, Boston, MA</span></span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">$20 general admission</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Inspired by the phenomenon of Quantum Entanglement, in which two atoms become linked to each other, Entangling explores how we are inextricably and consequentially connected to each other. This piece seems to be a natural extension of Anikaya Dance Theater's mission statement to break down the perceived boundaries between people, cultures and artforms. A collaboration between US-based choreographer Wendy Jehlen and West African-based contemporary choreographer and dancer Lacina Coulibaly, Entangling, investigates the interlacing of the internal, physical energy between two human beings. </span></span><br />

As the Presidential debates ponder immigration reform and Europe grapples with unprecedented levels of refugees, it seems that the whole world it wrestling with the questions about being misplaced and displaced. Monkeyhouse, an award winning local nonprofit that connects communities with choreography, had no idea how timely these topics would be when they decided to dedicate their 15 anniversary season to this theme. Their eclectic band of choreographers have roamed the edges of the dance landscape seeking out uncharted connections to other art forms in preparation for Monkeyhouse's concerts on October 23 &24 @ 8PM at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center, 41 Second St, Cambridge, MA. Tickets are $25/ $20 for students, seniors and Boston Dance Alliance members. More information can be found at MulticulturalArtsCenter.org.</div>

My husband and I were living on friends' couches and in hotel rooms for months as we grieved and as we waited for our mortgage on a new home to be finalized. And then, Monkeyhouse learned that our artistic home, </span><a alt="https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/regionals/north/2013/09/18/springstep-building-medford-sold-for-million/gZWQkKqiaQti6qSnSWdzdM/story.html" href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/regionals/north/2013/09/18/springstep-building-medford-sold-for-million/gZWQkKqiaQti6qSnSWdzdM/story.html" linktype="1" shape="rect" style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;" target="_blank" track="on">Springstep in Medford,</a><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> was being sold." explains Artistic Director, Karen Krolak. "Honestly, these were the questions I was asking myself every morning and I had no sense of how relevant they would become." Krolak continued. </span></div>
<div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Although the theme, Misplaced/Displaced evolved out of personal tragedy, Monkeyhouse knew that it was meaningful to many within the local dance community. Even without so many extraordinary challenges, surviving as a dance organization in Boston is not easy. In fact the majority of the companies that began in the early 2000's with Monkeyhouse have now shuttered their doors, including Snappy Dance, whose yearly budget was more than five times larger than Monkeyhouse's. As the company examines how to survive setbacks this season through pieces that play with pottery, palindromes and history, they hope to help audience members, dance organizations and emerging artists to navigate through life's inevitable hurdles. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">"The relationship between Luminarium and Monkeyhouse technically began through our company's debut of 24-Hour ChoreoFest back in 2012, but I would counter that it really kicked off when Kim Holman, Karen Krolak, Jason Ries, and myself sat down at Thelonious Monkfish after the fact to debrief. The exchange was extraordinary. Here was a company a full decade more established than our own, taking the time to sit with us, and not only offer to help us as we forged our path as a company, but spoke to us right from the beginning as </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">peers.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> This meeting will forever be alive in my memory bank-the lunch hour came and went and there we stayed, swapping hilarious adventures in pursuit of the arts, and tackling big ideas for the seasons to come.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Fast forward one year later, a young new dancer sat eagerly across the table from us having just graduated from college and participated in our second ChoreoFest. As he asked us questions for how to get his spunky new group (yes, this would be Tyler Catanella of Paradise Lost) off the ground and running, I couldn't help but make a comparison to the year before. Here we were, doing for Tyler what Monkeyhouse had done for us. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">That is the impact of Monkeyhouse on the community. All of its members find a way to help new and aspiring artists with guidance, honesty, support, and a little humor. And before we knew it, we'd become the ones paying it forward for the next generation coming through. Thank you, Monkeyhouse, for treating us as your peers from day one, and for forever inspiring the young artists around you to jump up and get moving."</span></div>

Monkeyhouse began with a promise to build a laboratory where choreographers could create, experiment and present new work. Our mission has developed to include motivating people to move with meaning and improving communication by connecting communities with choreography. Over the years we have mentored, nurtured and supported dozens of choreographers ranging from students first experimenting to established favorites. We've had hundreds of conversations about different choreographic processes that stimulate or inspire new directions for our work and helped foster long term relationships with presenters, audience members and other choreographers. </div>

The piece imagines a conversation between a modern woman and and a nineteenth century mill worker. Inspired by the history of the Lowell Mill, the lives of textile workers, and the detailed records of Thoreau, the dancert explore themes of the natural world in conflict with industry, the passage of time, and the lives of women. </span><br />

"Most dictionaries define choreography as just the process of creating dance steps. At Monkeyhouse, however, we describe it as learning to move with meaning," begins Karen Krolak, Monkeyhouse Founder/Artistic Director. "Through our workshops, we encourage students to explore their own strengths and weaknesses to find their unique movement style not just to copy someone else. They learn how to emphasize their individuality in productive ways that help teens to feel stronger and more confident," continues Nicole Harris, Monkeyhouse Co-Founder/Engagement Director. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;">
Through a series of movement and choreographic exercises, Monkeyhouse will work with members of the Boys & Girls Club of Medford to explore who the students are, where they fit in in their communities and what they hope to become over the course of the school year. Students will be given the basic tools of how to choreograph, including how to build movement phrases, how to use abstraction and how to generate transitions. In addition to their choreographic assignments, kids will be challenged to tell their own stories, learn about themselves and others, and build a stronger community within the group. <span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">"We are very excited to start on this new arts adventure with Monkeyhouse! This program will greatly enhance our Medford Club's programming and provide our members with a safe and creative space for self-expression, building self-confidence and learning new skills and techniques in the arts. We are so grateful to our partners, the Friends of the <span class="il">Chevalier</span> and Gene Mack, and our supporters in the community for making this a reality for our young people." declares Lindsey Smythe, Executive Director of Boys & Girls Clubs of Middlesex County.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;">
Developing a dynamic program that partners together diverse sectors of the nonprofit community with local businesses requires its own blend of fancy footwork. The <span class="il">Chevalier</span>Theatre Commission's newest member, Susan Fairchild, conceived of the idea for the collaboration. "I knew if I could bring the right people together into the conversation, the idea would take off. Monkeyhouse and The Medford Boys & Girls Club were a perfect match for each other! And CACHE has been presenting Circle the Square for four years now. It was the perfect community event for showcasing the students' work, and to round out the team, Sharon Hepburn of Mystic Coffee Roasters has been an ardent supporter of arts in the community. Now we have a lot more than conversation happening!"</div>

Monkeyhouse began with a promise to build a laboratory where choreographers could create, experiment and present new work. Our mission has developed to include motivating people to move with meaning and improving communication by connecting communities with choreography. Over the years we have mentored, nurtured and supported dozens of choreographers ranging from students first experimenting to established favorites. We've had hundreds of conversations about different choreographic processes that stimulate or inspire new directions for our work and helped foster long term relationships with presenters, audience members and other choreographers. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">by Aisha Cruse</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div>
<a href="https://i.vimeocdn.com/portrait/8759474_300x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="https://i.vimeocdn.com/portrait/8759474_300x300.jpg" border="0" src="https://i.vimeocdn.com/portrait/8759474_300x300.jpg" /></a><span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: orange;">
<a href="http://www.luminariumdance.org/#!choreofest/cdvv" target="_blank">ChoreoFest</a></span> triumphantly ended just over a week ago, with much sighing and yawning and </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">applause. And though the performances have concluded, the conversations continue! I was lucky enough to get to ask Dance Complex Executive Director <a href="http://publicdisplaysofmotion.com/bio/" target="_blank">Peter DiMuro</a> a few questions about ChoreoFest and choreography at the Dance Complex, ChoreoFest's annual home.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A quick bit of background; a few weeks before the festival, the Dance Complex invited the ChoreoFest participants to take part in a Choreographer's Workshop lead by Peter, which was part of a longer event called Summer Sizzle. I eagerly accepted, and spent an amazing three hours building and deconstructing movement. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Given the Dance Complex's continued support of ChoreoFest, and knowing that Peter would be attending the performances, it made perfect sense to ask him some follow-up questions on the workshop and on ChoreoFest. Peter graciously and eloquently accepted.</span><br />
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: orange;">Aisha Cruse: What made you invite the ChoreoFest participants to the Choreographer's Workshop?</span><br /><span style="color: #fce5cd;">Peter DiMuro: I often feel, that as young dance-makers, we're thrown into the world post-college or post-training with very little preparation as to what it means to "make dances". We're taught to make phrases, make-up movement. In technique class, there are combinations- often in straight lines across the floor. Even if we get to take a composition or choreography class, there is so little time to "undo" the majority of the time we spend in our training- isolating the technique from the "communication through movement".<br />I had seen the Choreofest through video and live snippets over the past few years, and felt that we might be able to help frame the intense 24 hour period with a mind set (and body-set!) that could de-rail the trained impetus to "gotta make up movement.." vs. "what are we communicating".</span><br /><br /><span style="color: orange;">Aisha: The workshop we attended was part of a larger week-long event, which included an opportunity for choreographers to make and show work. Can you tell us a little about what<br /> your goals were during the event and if it will be happening again?</span><br /><span style="color: #fce5cd;">Peter: Each year we do two seasonal festivals- <a href="http://www.dancecomplex.org/winter-wonder-dance.htm" target="_blank">Winter Wonder</a> and Summer Sizzle. This year, Summer Sizzle seemed to take on a new thread of creation- there was a choreographer's track as a through line, as well as some body/mind/moving somatics classes with Pam Pietro. I think with the choreo track and Pam's classes, the parallel in "how" we think about dance is the key ingredient: if we don't question the way we move, think, bundle and unbundle bodies and ultimately change (the hard part!!!), then we don't really have a chance to change the way we move, the way we create/craft dances. <br />As The Dance Complex continues, we will also keep reinforcing sustainable ways of thinking/doing- in our own Festivals like Winter Wonder and Summer Sizzle, but in on-going workshops we produce throughout the year- <a href="http://www.dancecomplex.org/Dance_Complex_Events.htm" target="_blank">the CATALYST Classes,</a> for instance.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: orange;">Aisha: ChoreoFest is incredibly happy to have the continued support of the Dance Complex. What kind of involvement does the Dance Complex (or do you) want to have with ChoreoFest in the future?</span><br /><span style="color: #fce5cd;">Peter: Since arriving here 2 summers ago, I feel like I am just understanding what the community holds as gifts to us- us at The Dance Complex but also for the whole community. It would be great to be involved with a workshop prior to the ChoreoFest as we did this year; I think it would/could get more means of interrupting patterns, ways of thinking. <br />I could see some of the works continuing on- and being presented in workshop or performance here say a few months later- what seed ideas are worth keeping or evolving into more?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: orange;">Aisha: Were there any moments while watching the performances that you saw or felt a connection to the skills we covered or discussions we had in the choreographer's workshop? </span><br /><span style="color: #fce5cd;">Peter: Of course the egotist in my wants to say, Sure! Everything connected! I'd love to ask the choreographer's the same question : how did they - or now, with reflection a few days later- interrupt the creative process patterns, movement patterns, spatial patterns, when under the gun like that.<br />I do think in watching that I saw the overall form of the dances- from each individual choreographer- be less connected to a known form (first a duet, now a solo, now a trio...now group unison- the kind of choreography that speaks to fulfilling some list of known ingredients). The dances felt more organically formed. And I sensed ownership by the dancers dancing- my own methods include a lot of work to get those performing to "own" movement right from the get-go, and not as a layer on top of "adding the performance", so this always is something that pops out. <br />It might be the nature of the 24 hour finite-ness that choreographers sense that they share creation/ownership in the process of making...or maybe partly the workshop that un-did some unspoken rule of the choreographer creating top down. <br />And I saw less unison! (That tool of the devil!) and when unison occurred, it felt less out of nowhere. <br />I'd encourage an examination of what, objectively with a few days passing, worked- even the unintentional aspects in performance, form, movement generation- and see if there is some way to set the likelihood that these can occur again..and that requires reflection and changing pattern....(It's always back to that! Dang!)</span></span><br />
