DEGREES OF VACANCY

Contemporary Movement Workshop

Degrees of Vacancy is the practice of diffusing external frequencies to reintegrate and fine-tune our internal rhythms. Imagining the body as a hotel full of cluttered rooms, participants are guided through a series of investigations which culminate in recalibration. Focus is allowed to blur, inviting spatial and temporal disorientation, as tasks of compassion - whimsical yet genuine, like singing a love song to oneself and one’s demons - are introduced. The body becomes more spacious and available; the mind becomes clearer and more deliberately attentive. Rooms are decluttered. Movement is motivated by intention and executed with specificity. This state lends itself to embodying, with sensitivity to the infinite possibilities of creation, a spectrum of ideas and physicalities demanded by artistic work.
