AUGUST 5 - 9 (day off on 8/8) | 10am - 12pm
SFD+I Research Module: not about thing
A small protest to always having to explain/propose/know/articulate in language what work is about, in Not About Thing, we will witness and expand meaning making that comes through the language and archives of our performing bodies--switching modes, researching theories, moving continuously, making and breaking small works together. What does our work tell us about what it is rather than the other way around? How do we create more unknown spaces in a pressurized culture to make quick content and access readily available algorithmic answers to every question? “Our work” can be how we engage in a warm up, how we show up as a collaborator, how a prompt manifests in motion, how objects, technology and form intersect with identity and place, how we build a community of practice and approach work as part dialogue, ritual, relationship, and care.
