SUMMARY:Global Underscore 2012 - June 23rd - Other (see event for details) 
 - 23 Jun 12 14:30
DESCRIPTION:The Global Underscore 2012 at University of Chichester\nSaturda
 y\, June 23\, 2:30–6:30pm (UK time)\nat University of Chichester\, West 
 Sussex\, UK\n\n\nphoto: Raisa Kyllikki Karjalainen\n\nNancy Stark Smith (f
 acilitating)\nMike Vargas (music)\n\nThe Underscore is a framework for pra
 cticing and researching dance improvisation that Nancy has been developing
  since 1990 based on her work with Contact Improvisation. It is a long jam
 ming/CI/improvisation score that guides dancers through a series of "chang
 ing states"—from solo relaxation and sensitizing to gravity and support\
 , through group circulation and interaction\, to contact improvisation eng
 agements\, then opening out to full group improvisation\, and back to rest
  and reflection.\n\nFor the past 11 years\, a Global Underscore has been o
 ccurring near the summer solstice. Conceived and organized by French dance
 r Claire Filmon for 10 years\, the Global Underscore Solstice is an annual
  event during which dancers at many sites around the world practice the Un
 derscore simultaneously.\n\nNancy will be hosting/facilitating one site of
  the 2012 Global Underscore as part of the Somatics and Technology Confere
 nce taking place at the University of Chichester\, in Chichester\, UK\, on
  Saturday\, June 23\, 2:30–6:30 pm. All dancers with previous experience
  with Contact Improvisation and with the Underscore are welcome to apply/r
 egister to participate. It should be a very special Underscore!\n\nEmbedde
 d in the Somatics and Technology Conference (http://somaticstechnologyconf
 erence2012.com/)\, the Chichester Global Underscore will take place in an 
 unusual and fascinating context. Nancy will give an Underscore talk to the
  conference participants on Saturday morning to offer some preliminary bac
 kground and outline the basic structure (Global Underscore dancers are wel
 come but not required to attend). Later that day\, the Global Underscore p
 ractice will occur\, with live music improvised/composed by Nancy’s long
 time collaborator\, musician Mike Vargas. The Chichester Underscore will b
 e danced by improvisers from London and elsewhere who have had previous tr
 aining in Contact Improvisation and the Underscore. There will also be a s
 pecial technological component with a worldwideweb link-up. The event will
  be open for observation by conference participants.\n\nAfter a brief rece
 ption following the Underscore\, Global Underscore dancers and observers a
 re welcome come out together for an evening meal in a local restaurant.\n\
 nWe hope you’ll join us and the other Underscores happening around the g
 lobe on June 23!\n\nTo register for participation in the Global Underscore

 Underscore to Lalitaraja j.lalitaraja@roehampton.ac.uk.\n\nGlobal Undersc
