National Dance Day 2013

For National Dance Day 2013 (Saturday, July 27th), some Intimations Dancers gathered for a 'mini-underscore' (and some food and good times). The Underscore is a long-form dance improvisation structure developed by Nancy Stark Smith. It has been evolving since 1990 and is practiced all over the globe. We only scratched the surface of this improvisational tool, engaging with the skinesphere and kinesphere, trying to 'drop-in' and be present for a few moments. I am looking forward to using this tool to expand upon our contact-based vocabulary and work to integrate more organic partner-work into my choreography. Enjoy.
