SUMMARY:OPEN/OPEN: a dance workshop with Kate Seethaler + Meghan Frederick
DESCRIPTION:11 am – 1 pm\nSliding Scale $15 – $45\, no one turned away for lack of funds \nOPEN/OPEN: a dance workshop with Kate Seethaler + Meghan Frederick\nKate and Meghan offer a workshop drawing on techniques currently in use for the creation of their latest duet collaboration OPEN/OPEN. These include methods for generating movement in the body\, scores for improvisation\, and tasks for the creation of new choreographies. Kate and Meghan will give participants a warm-up geared towards accessing modes of interiority and porousness in the body\, leading towards nuanced and OPEN dancing. They will share scores for improvising with these modes\, and offer students structures to use for the generation of new movement material and ideas within the workshop and beyond.

SUMMARY:Open/Open: a performance by Kate Seethaler + Meghan Frederick
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 7:30\, performances at 8pm\nSliding scale $15 – $45 \nMusical performance by Milk of Mustard Seed\nOPEN/OPEN by Kate Seethaler + Meghan Frederick\nOPEN/OPEN is a new\, duet work that continues our five-year creative research into pregnancy and motherhood as/through choreography and performance. Our movement vocabulary begins in modes of interiority and porousness\, drawing from our experiences of gestation\, birth\, and infant care. Through gestural sequences and poetic text we cast spells and crack images into myriad meanings. Our choreographic systems explore touch\, unison\, and repetition\, alongside improvisational modes in which we inhabit choreography. Through these systems we manifest logics inherent in embryological development\, the spiritual disorientation of matrescence\, and the leaky\, permeable body of motherhood. Electric blue wigs render us hyper-feminine\, mythical monsters; an image we then work to deconstruct. Through an interplay of disorientation and rigor\, our performance reveals essential mechanisms of vulnerability\, care\, perseverance and love.
