SUMMARY:Perception\, Presence and Performance: 5 Day intensive with Jess Cu
 rtis - The Dance Space - 20 Nov 12 10:30
DESCRIPTION:This course will be an embodied exploration of cycles and scale
 s of sensing\, observing\, and consequential action in physical practice. 
 Working from the cellular to the global\, we will examine how we sense eac
 h other\, take action and make meaning while we move. We will give particu
 lar attention to the tension between the concepts of presence and performa
 nce as lenses through which to observe/view/feel/listen-to/activate the bo
 dy.\n\nWe will “spend” time shifting our awareness to a more cyclical 
 time state\, unencumbered by desires and goals and we will “take” time
  observing ourselves and each other\, thoughtfully examining the consequen
 ces of our actions. We will examine the physical actualities of touch\, ma
 nipulation\, counterbalance\, force\, resistance\, and surrender\, both as
  physical states and as meaningful expressions of interpersonal and interc
 ultural relations. Bring curiosity\, a desire to dance and a willingness t
 o be seen.\nTo Book\nTo book or for more information about accommodation a
