Ludus Lab with Choreograoher Laura Peterson
Laura Peterson
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM 2015: LUDUS
Continuous Dancing is very physical and blends full bodied and dynamic movement with elements of improvisation to create a sense of continuity, athleticism and detailed dancing. Participants begin with focusing exercises designed to support the experience of looking closely at the space around them as they simultaneously bring awareness to the body’s internal systems and small continuous movements that connect the outside with the inside. With this awakened state, the dancing becomes fuller as participants find clarity in the body through contemporary dance technique and work toward an understanding of how these elements relate to the concepts that are at the heart of Laura Peterson’s choreographic process and the resulting dancing.
