A one-week workshop based on the theme 'chance' to create movement material, use different ways to structure and play with it.
The core elements of the workshop were:
- dice
- scores
- random objects (which participants bring)
one of the tasks was to create 'formulas', after a period of working with the core elements.
dice x object x score = ...
3 methods to create from outside influence, having to deal with order or input which is not logically built up or given with a specific reason. It makes a dancer step away from it's own comfortable way of moving and connecting movement.
Then the exploration phase of once one and others' interpretation takes place. What does the mind make of it when we see it? What atmosphere, logic, story or theme, which was not intentionally put in.
Attached: 2 examples of scores we used: by Stephan Raidl (Composer/Musician) and Merce Cunningham.
The participants also created and used own score during the workshop-week.
