BODIES IN MOTION - Spend the morning reconnecting with somatic and improvisatory processes for BODIES IN MOTION. Together we will reconnect with our breath and each other in a communal process while exploring what connections, structures, and patterns are embodied practices. This room is designed for human expansion while moving towards, sci-fi, roots, webs, inception, and interconnectivity. Let’s experience different ways of challenging our ideas of what is possible as we move through space.

The 9 AM course record and welcomed design during 24-25, was facilitated by LROD with adaptive, welcoming, and post-human strategies with enrolled community.

PERFORMANCE MEDIA - On Friday afternoons we will gather to explore the electric realms of synthesis in contemporary performance practices and digital media. This room provides spacious experimentation and expansion through historical grounding, deliberate curation, and performance-based encounters. Portals will range from installation, content, composition, collaboration, and somatic integration. The body will become integrated and active. Together we will examine relevant archives, film/media, and reading samples to activate a thoughtful forum. The course engages the designer, director, choreographer, programmer, performer, engineer, musician/songwriter, visual artist, performance artist, ETC.
