Shoptalk |
|
The
three Shoptalk booklets, are geared towards readers who value spontaneity,
dance, music or theater making, and for students or professionals who
may be interested in improvisation in general, and the dance improvisation
scene. Why talk? In our time, the fundamental art of freely moving ones
body through dance, is asked to be defined, studied and even justified.
Improvisation is vehicle for an open discussion and dialogue, which
calls on a more active participation of who practices the art as well
as audiences to bring act of reflection and ‘sense making’
into the real time theater event.
