This workshop draws from our collective practice of honing group connection as a means to push our own physical, theatrical, and energetic edges. Together, we’ll practice listening with our whole bodies, responding to what is present, and finding the richness that emerges when we allow ourselves to be with one another rather than trying to make something happen.
Through solo, partner, and group scores, we’ll use simplicity as a tool for noticing. As awareness deepens, new choices emerge. From this grounded attention, we’ll cultivate lushness, idiosyncrasy, and fierce play, discovering our own dancing presence within the larger whole.
AVID is a collective of experienced movement artists Scott Davis, Aiko Kinoshita, Rachael Lincoln, Aaron Swartzman, and Calie Sweberg. Founded in 2014, AVID has gathered weekly to engage in evolving improvisational structures built upon the practice of interweaving art and life. With regular, live practice/performance, we seek the antidote to disconnection and disaffection. Part creative process lab, part social blessing, part mystery, we push towards courage and risk.
