untitled 24

this performance project is conceptualized as a collaboration between johnny mcmillan and james vu anh pham. james will lead the performance project till the 20th of july (for the first 5 days) and johnny mcmillan will continue the performance project to the end. we open the application as an exception up again until tuesday morning the 16th of july. We will be researching movement techniques and tasks to strengthen the bond between the instinctual dancer and the analytical dancer. We will create clear choices, rules, games, and obstacles, in order to challenge the mind to accept and build movement vocabulary. We will be discovering ways to continuously flow, generate and regenerate possibilities in the body, as well as taking full advantage of the natural intelligence we have in our own individual bodies. The workshop will allow us to scan, develop, and acknowledge the freedom and the limits within the body, and to enjoy all that is possible, whilst developing our palette and finesse as an intelligent, virtuostic mover.
