Description

body/material is a dramaturgy of dances, where dance is intended primarily as a movement of attention and a technology of ecstasy, done both "alone together" and 'together together'. body/material invites the participants to tune into the subtle body, through breathing and pulsating the connective tissues and slow activations, drawn from functional anatomy and Qi circulation techniques. Every day the focus is brought to a system (eg. technology of breath, heart center, gravity dynamics) to allow for this to grow into explorations or dances and dance/performance play. The class dynamic evolves from somatic tuning and awareness into a playground for a polymorphous and joyful dance experience. A brief embodied framework on consent is offered, as we gather as temporary collaborators in a 'brave' space, where through dancing as a form of non- normative or ordinary behavior, we take risks as we open and re-shape our body/mind. 
Biographies

Maria F. Scaroni

Maria F. Scaroni (she/her) is a dance artist. She creates and interprets choreographic works rooted in improvisational practices and altered states of consciousness. Maria hosts workshops deviating post-modern dance legacies towards technologies for mutual empowerment, crossbreeding somatic practices and anti-oppression frameworks in support of a culture of connection. Maria performs in Meg Stuart’s with whom she collaborates since 2009. After collectiveLecken, an erogenous queer rave, she has been hosting Social Pleasure Center,a community space for somatic post-activism. She currently collaborates with icon drag queen Olympia Bukkakis.
