We will use Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT) to enhance our Contact Improvisation and apply it to set structures (harnessing) for improvisation or compositional creation.

For artists interested in the pure *SRT* form which combines creative process with technique and applying this to compositional structure.

Each day will begin with an SRT class, and will be followed by a CI
exploration based on key elements of SRT. On saturday afternoon we will
begin harvesting our discoveries through writing and discussion and applying these discoveries to structures for compositional content on Sunday.

SRT is a dance training methodology combining technique with creative process, which is greatly influencing today's dancing aesthetics. By cultivating effortlessness, one begins letting go of unnecessary holding in the physical self, gaining flexibility, efficiency, freedom. Through guided imagery, music and hands-on partner studies the practice facilitates a deep kinesthetic experience of movement and in time a shedding of outer layers. It is an experiential, intuitive approach that utilizes imagery as a powerful tool for transformation. Wear comfortable clothing in layers. Bring paper and writing instrument.

cost: 120$ for the workshop, 95$ before February 12th 2010

The dance resonates within us and carries us along on its journey. We allow ourselves to be danced.
