Thoughts and Ideas
Musing
Countering myself. Contemplate, instead of dancing with amazing landmarks, sculptures, murals, what if you filmed dancing in the scenes of daily reality, the places not advertised and beautified. What if you didn't clear the scene of passersby, trash in the gutter, noise. What if?
Creative
Un-mapping. Most of you when hearing the word 'map' will picture a paper map with names and places. Try replacing that concept with a kinesthetic map, a sensory map, a memory map, a story map, a "legend" of your own making. Instead of thinking of a place by name, find other ways to know a place and your way around it. How can you apply this to dance making?

The book starts as if about one thing, ambition, identity, but after 200 pages dives off a cliff into a deep questioning of assumptions, of how history is presented and identity created.
- - With a Virtual Workshop- Dec 7-11, 5-7pm Keshet is teaching choreography from Nutcracker on the Rocks.$25 to $100.
- - or a Documentary on Netflix "Dance Dreams, Hot Chocolate Nutcracker" by Debbie Allen
