Performance Lab
How do we sustain embodied interaction with our surroundings while connecting with our internal
kinesthetic experience? The SOMA Fest Collaborative Performance Lab is an opportunity to develop
ideas and collaborate with other somatic based artists in bringing kinesthetically-sourced movement to
the performance arena.
Ideal for individuals willing to explore in a communal environment to create a collaborative group
score. Bring seeds of ideas for somatic performance works, develop ideas and learn from each other,
culminating in a night of performance.
The Lab is a 4 day workshop – 3 hours per day, plus designated rehearsal time and participation in one
of the weekend performances. Each class will begin with a somatic movement warm-up preparation and
improvisation score warmup. Participants will then share ideas and collaborate on developing an ongoing
road map, the score for a final matinee performance on Sunday, October 11. There may be extra
rehearsals scheduled before the performance.
The performance lab facilitators will serve to help integrate somatic practices within improvisation
and compositional performance work.
