IDOCs » Un Packing a Choreographic Practice
How do I start creating? From where do I source the images, questions or input that might become material for performance? How do I translate these into physical material? What are the processes, tools and ways of looking at our collected experience that might make it performative, even choreographic?

Emma’s workshop draws on a long and varied background in dance, and most recently by her own efforts to make work. 

In it, she opens up her own movement research and current interest in working with modes of perception. The workshop is an opportunity for Emma to share her encounters with a wide variety of dance and performance practitioners, including the dramaturg and writer, Guy Cools, with whom she collaborated on her latest creation, the way you look tonight. Emma draws on Guy Cool’s practice of making perceptive enquiry into movement, examining up close what triggers the creative process. 

Individual interests of the participants are explored through a variety of approaches to creating: intuitive, analytical and improvisational.

Throughout the course of the workshop there is the opportunity to take part in tasks aimed to draw attention to receptivity, perception and sensory experience, and use them as tools to discover new creative output. We are making, discussing, improvising, reading and watching the work of others as well as discovering our own.

Dear Emma

I love the picture, what's happening there? I'm very curiuos to know more about it! Maybe you can make some practical exemples within this workshop / class idoc. When I think about your work, I find very special that you use a lot of direct comments on dancing / movements. You comment on what you are doing at the moment. It is a skill, difficult for many dancers to express movements in words, even more difficult to do so immediately while dancing. Multitasking like that, is that something you exercise in this workshop? I could imagine it can be an interesting topic to share and exchange about.... all the best a
