11am–2pm
Bootleg Theater
2220 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90057
In this workshop, we’ll investigate our creative practice threads while dealing with the explicit challenges of presence, communication, and collaboration. We’ll work in the rich arena of multisensoriality, receptivity, stillness, and one’s own unique performativity. Solo action <-> group action, tuning, and warming-up as a compass for compositionally brilliant presencing. One of the mysterious challenges of performing is to see and be seen at the same time, and with that, sensing while acting. Being Scene is a forum for sensuary live installation experiments, highly influenced by the mosaic of somatics and sensory perceptual research.
Presented by Show Box L.A. in conjunction with Swap/Meet #01 at Bootleg Theater, August 24–26, 2012
