Professional Practice
MAP Lab
Date: 6/4/2021 - 6/6/2021
Description:
Introducing MAP Lab: Movement, Architecture, and Production. A brand new virtual workshop that culminates in the creation of your own (virtual) site-specific dance film!
In MAP Lab, you will have the opportunity to create your own tool kit for designing and composing choreography in the virtual realm. Throughout the weekend, participants will take classes with renowned architects (Victor Jones and Kevin Daly), dancers, and videographers and explore the ways we define space. With different topologies and mapping strategies, participants will investigate the intersectionality of body and space throughout the weekend. In between master classes, participants will have the opportunity to immediately apply what they've learned through the creation of their film. During these individual workshop sessions, participants can sign up for one on one consultations with Heidi Duckler to discuss their individual projects.
We choose to view the virtual space as an opportunity to explore and challenge previous notions of dance and space. We are especially curious about the relationship between dance and architecture. Both creative disciplines ask us: how do we characterize space?
Join us for the chance to create your own spatial map for movement, architecture, and production in the virtual space!
No previous experience or equipment needed. A virtual tool kit will be provided.
