Drawing on concepts from release technique, yoga, Alexander technique, material for the spine, and developmental movement, the practice explores specificity to increase the potential of the solo body. The training looks at aspects such as weight, momentum, duration, repetition, and speed while choreographic riffs and scores are used as points of departure to investigate listening and multiple forms of flow – mechanical, cognitive, and empathic.
Andrew Wass
is choreographer, dancer, and researcher whose curiosities lie at the crossroads of philosophy, cognitive science, and improvised dance. Looking to dissolve the boundaries between academic research and performance, he juxtaposes corporeal and cognitive practices to reveal their theoretical commonalities. He performed works of Nancy Stark Smith, Mary Overlie, Jess Curtis, among others. A member of Lower Left and a graduate of SoDA program (HZT Berlin), Wass pursues a PhD in Dance at Texas Woman’s University.
