This two-hour workshop will dive into phrase work from Tere Mathern’s Evidence of Division (1999) to be performed by the Shaun Keylock Company at the Vancouver Arts & Music Festival this August. Designed for intermediate and advanced dancers, the workshop will begin with a floor warm-up utilizing Bartenieff-based organizing patterns, skeletal landmarks, weight, flow and breath. As we transition to verticality, we will learn phrase work that involves spilling off-center, finding freedom through counter-tension and connection to the ground, sequential complexity, and partnering with relational points of interaction, support and connection.
