Course Description

Summary

Creative gestures possess a cultural DNA.  This lab explores the physical and performative relationship of the body to a student’s cultural whole.  Students will study, explore and negotiate what a perfect gesture might be by viewing (watching video examples), improvising and thinking with their particular body politics.  A primary question holding this lab together will be, where is efficiency and urgency in an unwieldy physical experimentation, a planned unknown.  An impossible good labor. Three-week course Wednesdays 2:10pm - 6:00pm March 16, March 23, March 30 Final class on Saturday, April 2, 2:10pm - 4:00pm
