Carthago Delenda Est

Lisa Nelson
propose
an intensive workshop-laboratory from january 27th to february 5th 2012, in Brussels.

The Tuning Score, a performance research format, asks : what do we see when we’re looking at dance ?

The research focuses on the physical base of the imagination.  By altering the way we use our senses while moving and watching movement, we can begin to identify the genetic, cultural and idiosyncratic patterns our senses use to construct our experience.  These patterns inform what we see when we are attending to anything, influence how we sense and make sense out of movement in interaction with our inner and outer environments.
Focusing on vision, touch, and hearing, the scores provoke spontaneous compositions that make evident our opinions about space, time, action, and desire, and provide tools and a framework for communication and collaboration amongst us.

Lisa Nelson  is a dance-maker, improvisational performer, and collaborative artist who has been exploring the role of the senses in the performance and observation of movement since the early ‘70s. Stemming from her work with video and dance in the ‘70s, she developed an approach to spontaneous composition and performance she calls Tuning Scores. She performs, teaches and creates dances in diverse spaces on many continents, and maintains long-term collaborations with other artists, including Steve Paxton, Daniel Lepkoff, videoartist Cathy Weis, Scott Smith, and Image Lab--a Tuning Score performance ensemble. Since 1977, she has co-edited Contact Quarterly, international dance and improvisation journal. She lives in Vermont in the US.
