Bodyscapes: movement & making lab

Select Sundays from 3-5pm starting at the Dance Barn

Single Lab: $30 or Series Pass: $120

Bodyscapes is a space for reconnecting to the ecologies of our bodies as they regulate, relate, and respond to their respective environments and communities.

In this workshop offering, we will explore relationship to land through improvisational movement, sensory walks along PS21’s extensive trail network, and creative prompts designed to help participants map, archive, and integrate their experience. This is a listening practice, a space for creative movement, a cultivation of communal care, and a durational exercise in witnessing our bodies and spaces through an ecosomatic lens.

No movement experience necessary.
All art materials will be provided.

TEACHER BIO:

Charlotte Stickles is a movement artist with an inquiry around how dance lives beyond its more traditional western performance and pedagogical settings. She has worked in various capacities as a performer, educator, and movement specialist – as a creature performer, film actor, movement director, choreographer, and collaborator for numerous contemporary performance works. Charlotte has presented her own work in galleries, public spaces, and on screens – and has spoken about her research in the field of dance and performance at the Women in Dance Leadership Conference, public radio, and at various sites and museums across the country. She graduated from The Ohio State University with a BFA in Dance and is currently pursuing her Masters in Dance/Movement Therapy at Pratt Institute. In researching the ephemeral and communicating the lived experience of a body, specifically through a lens of ecosomatics, ecology, and horticulture, Charlotte transfigures the boundaries of dance as a means to reimagine sustainable and integrated living in a shifting world. www.charlottestickles.com
