Sound, Body, Space is the focus of our annual Phillip Adams
BalletLab Masterclass in 2013.
Led by Brooke Stamp and Deanne Butterworth, this week long
intensive offers a valuable professional experience in a studio
setting for emerging professional dancers, dance-makers and
other practitioners engaged with movement and performance.
It will be a creative forum to explore movement, the body and
improvisational practices triggered by stimuli as a basis towards
new work development. Working equally with Deanne and Brooke,
this is an opportunity to learn from and work with two leading
figures in Melbourne contemporary dance, drawing on their
recent collaboration in PABL’s And All Things Return to Nature
Tomorrow, choreographed by Brooke Stamp and Phillip Adams.
Sessions with Brooke will explore movement and improvisation
triggered by documentary practices and other stimuli. Looking
at both work and process that responds to other forms including
sound, writing, drawing and text, these sessions will utilise and
extend the experimental techniques that fed into her recent work
And All Things Return to Nature.
Deanne delves into the way different spaces affect the choices
we make and what we devise with our bodies. This is considered
three ways: an investigation of pre-existing spaces in proximity to
Chunky Move; how sound can be a deeply physical environment;
and thirdly, participants will use drawings, plans, physical
structures and self-devised environments as the basis for scores for
creating movement.
The week will end with an informal showing of our discoveries
for participants, friends and colleagues, followed by drinks and
conversation.
