Body and Language

In this studio course open to all, we’ll dive into experiences in which body and language meet. We’ll think about these from aesthetic, cultural, political, personal, and philosophical perspectives. We’ll play with the physicality of voice and the material qualities of words and sentences. We’ll find literary structures in movement. We’ll explore language from, in, around, and about (our) bodies. We’ll question hierarchies between body and language and delve into times in which words and/or bodies fail or fall away. We’ll move and create together using tools from dance, theater, visual art, improvisation, somatic, and writing practices.
