The Cypher: A Soulful Improv Jam
The Cypher: A Soulful Improv Jam is an opportunity for people of all backgrounds, levels, and disciplines, to explore their voices as movers; an approach to improvisation using the functionality of the circle as reflected in African Diasporic practices. We will use the Cypher to launch us into collective choreographic exploration, pushing ourselves to be less precious about our material, and observing our work the through lens, skills, and creativity of our peers. Come prepared to offer and teach a small bite of material... then let the PLAYING COMMENCE!

Joshua Lubin-Levy in conversation
with Neal Beasley
...this conversation covering Neal Beasley's career with the Trisha Brown Dance Company as well as his own choreographic interests, offers practical and theoretical insights into the embodied forms of archiving that take place in the work of repertory and contributes to the question of what it means for a visual arts institution to collect a dance.
