EMBODYMENT PERFORMANCES (click here)
SOMA Fest Performances present Kinesthetically charged contemporary and
improvisational work from National and Local Artists. Performances are geared
toward Conscious Embodiment as the artist's inquiry takes on the multiple
challenges of skill, aesthetics, presence in the artist's internal world through
tracking sensation and tissue change, while being aware of the external
environment of the stage, other performers, audience members, and the world at
large! The audience plays a participatory role with this visceral performance
approach.
