Tools for Experimentation en la Improvisación and Environment.Workshop Description
In this workshop the artists will share their collaborative strategies and provide instructions/scores for the participants to activate on their own in their local ecology. In the second half of the workshop we will create a “future archive” through written and visual documentation. Together we will create and perform a collective dance score to culminate the workshop.
