SMALL DANCE JAM
With gratitude to StevePaxton (1939-2024) for bringing Small Dance into contemporary forever dance. This jam expands out with light facilitation of the “small dance” practice of standing, with “steve questions” such as, “can it be smaller?” Festivities include Unimaginable, a video installation side-show featuring interactive hxstoric look at Contact Improvisation, plus live music TBD. Come as you are! Join consenting partners in touch or CI, and/or in space with solo + others! How big is small?
KAREN CHUKI NELSON
Karen chuki Nelson (she/her/crone) tunes in community and performance where she lives on unceded Coast Salish land known as Vashon Island near Seattle, and world-wide on-screen in tunezooming, and face to face through international touring. Early on she helped develop Tuning Scores originated by Lisa Nelson in collaboration with Lisa, Scott Smith, and K.J. Holmes in their 1990’s performance group Image Lab and since then with many others. Tuning is a foundation to all chuki’s dancemaking, and crone has joined with margit galanter on many Tuning projects since they began collaborating in the late 90’s. This SFD+I inspired tuning creation project includes a scheduled early morning class, an all day research sideshow, and pop up site tunings with local and visiting guests. www.explomov.weebly.com
