Movement & Collaborative Dance Making Workshop with LOCULUS

In this workshop, LOCULUS will share some of their methods of collaborative dance making. Drawing from contact improvisation, ensemble work, noise, authentic movement, and ecology, participants will be led through a series of scores and prompts that alternate between moving,
writing, and making. With an emphasis on emergent composition we will work from what is already in the room letting ourselves follow moments of surprise, delight, and friction. No dance experience necessary, come as you are, ready to move, explore, and create.

Artist Bio

LOCULUS is the creative platform of Olana Flynn and Madison Palffy--dance makers and performance curators based in Holyoke, MA. Their work is often performed in bars, yards, and houses; responding to site and everyday material, they weave together improvisational structures across movement, sound, and object.  As LOCULUS, Madison and Olana have developed a teaching practice drawing upon 15 years of making and performing together.  Their teaching is rooted in a firm belief that dance and movement are for everybody.
