AUTUMN -- 2011
Monday Night
Advanced BASICS Lab
Seven Monday Nights, March 19 - April 30. 8pm-11pm.
Facilitated by ANTERO ALLI
PARTICIPANTS
This Advanced BASICS LAB will focus on the development of movement,
ritual, meditation, and vocal skills innate to this paratheatre medium
throughout three areas of work:
SHADOW WORK
Rituals and movement forms that expose unconscious and often self-destructive attitudes, complexes, and beliefs towards their transformation into more creative expression and spontaneity. This process can be supported and accomplished with technique work.
TECHNIQUE WORK
The structural integrity of this ritual technology is maintained by a web of techniques that include: No-Form, Contact Point, Vocalizations, Polarizations, Verticality, The Warm-Up Cycles, Resonance, Service, Containment, Immersion, Movement Vocabulary, Spatial Awareness, Jogging Forms. The purpose of technique is to bring more precision to the expression of source work.
SOURCE WORK
Nurtures a more direct experience of the currents of energy in the body itself and also, throughout the internal landscape. This process deepens the capacity for giving oneself totally to a given source, force, or state, towards a more embodied engagement and expression of presence, action, stillness, sound, and gesture.
NOTE: This is a non-performance lab.
The "pressure to perform" will be released and replaced by
the self-created pressures of building internal commitment
to presence, expression, and action.
