Week 2: July 14 - 19
Susan Rethorst / The Choreographic Mind
Rethorst teaches from the point of view that making is an endless quest with ever-shifting ground. Encouraging an attitude of fueling work with one's questions, not regarding plans or themes as pre-requisites, she regards teaching as a conversational mode: exercises are proposals in action.
Rethorst's own interests have to do with the nature of movement and its communication, how they operate as phenomena; this fuels both her aesthetic and methods. Initially presenting composition from this point of view, exercises propose ways of perceiving and proceeding that engage these ideas. At the same time, Rethorst is interested in creating a situation in which each student can locate her/his aesthetic and goals in the larger picture of dance's many mini cultures. We will endeavor to develop the ability to recognize and access states necessary to making work: intuition, perception, cognition, interiority, emotional distance, spontaneity, pleasure, will, reflection, humor. We will take these ideas and issues into an in-depth conversation in both practice and theory.

Week 3: July 21 - 26
John Jasperse/ Micro/Macro
Each day will be divided roughly in half. The first half of the day, 'Micro', will examine specific processes, which I have used in my own work. These include the cultivation of bodily states through the use of imagery & partner work and structuring physical problems, which in turn affect our bodily state. Limitation will be examined as an integral part of composition. The second half of the day, 'Macro', will build on the experiences of the morning. Through critique of projects, which we are each currently working on, we will seek to develop work which exhibits a personal and evocative language, contemporary cultural/social relevance, intelligence (in its various forms), and guts. All participants should come with a project at any stage in development, either as a solo form or with a group. Willingness to act as performers in our colleagues' work is a part of this process.

Week 4: July 28 – August 2
Jeanine Durning/ Making Dances: Approaches and Queries
Making dances for me is a necessary ongoing attempt to reinterpret and discover my internal world; questions and observations of human endeavor reconfigured into theatrical, dramatic structures. Built on a foundation of process and curiosity, a sort of Socratic method of establishing given axioms and then questioning them, the workshop will aim to locate individual creative priorities and interests; to come closer to a distinct personal voice. HOW? WHAT? WHY? daily generating and re-considering material through improvising, questioning, problem-solving, analyzing, intuiting; sometimes rigorous imposition. cultivating and combining unfettered, intuitive choices with an analytical directorial eye. directly relating "unseen" imagination to visible movement and structure locating and reinforcing the inherent structures in what we do in relation to metaphor, personal history and perception, rhythm (time), placement (space), behavior (emotion) and communication.
