Event Experimental Choreography Workshop

Experimental Choreography Workshop

With Patrick Staff

15 August 2015
4pm–6pm

  • Event Cost:
    Free

As a part of Patrick Staff’s The Foundation, the IMA is pleased to host an experimental choreography workshop with the artist. The activity will engage with ideas surrounding dance and movement in relation to Staff’s making of The Foundation.

Collaboratively, participants will take part in tracing the genealogy of movement employed by Staff in The Foundation, and his practice more widely. Participants will both learn about the conceptual origins of these histories, and actively negotiate this choreography in dialogue with the artist.

We encourage those that would like to attend to be aware that this will not be a taught lesson and will very much be an active, physical, workshop. However, no dance/movement experience is necessary.

The workshop is free but participants will be limited to 10 people. Sign up by contacting Public Programs Officer, Tess Maunder, at tess@ima.org.au. Please note that the workshop is full.

Thank to Expressions Dance Company.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
