At the end of this month Dancehouse will be presenting a week-long workshop conducted by US-based choreographer Tere O’Connor.
O’Connor says, “I am in a constant state of asking "What can dance do?" and the ever shifting answer seems to be, ‘It can do many things’.” During O’Connor’s workshop each participant will create a process methodology based on the structure of his /her own thought process and burning questions. Participants will pursue the application of these in the work and share our findings with each other. Through daily physical investigation and comprehensive discussion, participants will question assumptions and choreographic "default settings" from dance history re-contextualizing these through the dual lenses of personal research and contemporary culture.
