Knockout: Power, Partnering, and Play workshop
Designed from the creative inspiration, process and new phrases of collaborative duet, Knockout, Erin Kilmurray and Kara Brody are extending their next phase of development research into a 3 day workshop. The series will be geared towards people in an active dance practice who have familiarity with partnering and sharing body weight with others. Each workshop is three hours long and will begin with dedicated warm up time. Erin and Kara’s movement is athletic, playful, on the floor, and grounded in release based contemporary dance forms. Participants will learn and experiment with existing repertory, be directed through choreographic tasks and in conversations that focus on surrounding themes such as cinematic landscapes, power dynamics, real and imagined terrains, and iconic girl on girl fight choreographies.
