This concentrated weekend workshop will work with our senses and imagery towards ceaseless porosity between flesh, bone, imagination and space, yielding impossible and / or newfound bodies. A torrent of dynamic movements across and through the floor will challenge kinesthetic, motor and sensorial awareness, as we individually and collectively test limit, drive, scale, fun, rigor and rhythm.
Sherwood Chen has worked as a performer with artists including Anna Halprin, Xavier Le Roy, Amara Tabor-Smith, Min Tanaka, inkBoat, Sara Shelton Mann and l’agence touriste.
