Choreographer Jo Lloyd and Dramaturg Anny Mokotow present a rigorous workshop focusing on the intersection of dance and dramaturgy.
Sharing the belief that dramaturgy is a practice inherent in the processes of production and stimulated by the dancer as much as the choreographer, Lloyd and Mokotow will impart methodologies developed from Lloyd’s recent choreographies.
In Lloyd’s work Confusion for Three (2015), hypnotic tension is generated by three dancers as they negotiate a progressively unraveling system of choreography. Utilising this work as a process/performance model, participants will engage with clear choreographic parameters, enabling them to investigate/negotiate their physical and conceptual dramaturgical choices.
This workshop will conclude with a performance, presenting a new iteration of ‘Confusion’, unique to the participants and the context. This is an exceptional opportunity for dance artists to engage with two assured practitioners and be exposed to new practices, whilst investigating the dramaturgical role of the performer.
