Radical Spontaneity
with
Rina Espiritu
Tuesday March 27, 2018, 10am-12pm
SUGGESTED DONATION $8 OR PAY WHAT YOU CAN
Brooklyn Arts Exchange

Operating on a post-competitive approach, we will start with constrictive practice of phrase learning. With my direction, we will implode, explode, deconstruct, destroy, and transform this phrase to experience saying yes/no/maybe to the established idea. This is an exercise of spontaneity. To imagine and then practice an alternative to synchroneity in alignment, time, form, and aesthetic as a compositional tool. With my direction, we will conclude the practice with a performance piece for participants by participants.

All types of capacities, imaginations and practices welcomed.
