Creating Groupness
In this class we look at ensemble improvisation through the lens of Social Therapeutics - a performative and radically humanistic approach to psychology, therapy, education and community building where human beings are related to as active social creators of their lives. Our work blends our artistic and spiritual practices with our experiences in performance and development.
We use exercises that we have developed, borrowed and adapted from our artistic experience (drawing heavily from contact improvisation, Creative Research and Ensemble Thinking, Deep Listening and social partner dances) and our own practice and research blending collaborative improvisation and social therapeutics. We focus on ensemble improvisation that is interdisciplinary and collaborative; blending music and dance while creating ways to see our roles of movers/sounders as fluid and blurring the line between the two.
“When building the group [creating groupness] the importance is not on the content but rather, there is a powerful shift of focus to the human interaction”
