Workshop title: Developing a personal practice

Developing a personal practice IS PRACTICE A PRODUCT? IS PRACTICE A PROCESS? IS PRACTICE TRAINING? WHAT’S PASSION GOT TO DO WITH IT? IS STEALING A PRACTICE? Through a daily practice of dancing we will work on developing personal practices. Tools for developing a practice will include perceptual games and exercises, interviews, performance, self-observation and observation of each other. The emphasis will be on using the senses (including humor, vision, smell, proportion, hearing, justice, meaning, timing, movement… and more) to build a practice. A Thought-action: If you are a snake charmer, and you think a lot about teeth, in fact you think so much about teeth that you interpret the world through teeth, and all your work with snakes is just an extension of this interest in teeth then you could say that dentistry is your practice, although you are a snake charmer.
