Austin Satellite Project

PResented by Arcos dance

AUSTIN, TX

January 16-19, 2020

ARCOS will present a satellite project of internationally recognized artist Sidra Bell’s award-winning M.O.D.U.L.E. (Movement Observed During Unique Laboratory Experiments). MODULE is a movement laboratory for advanced and professional artists that focuses on creative communities, dialogue, and physical research.

ARCOS director Erica Gionfriddo’s recent artistic inquiries have been greatly shaped by Sidra’s unique fusion of physical and intellectual rigor. This workshop is a result of their recent dialogue about bringing Sidra’s mode of movement investigation to mid-career dance artists who frequently find their priorities evolving. How do we allow our practice to develop as we mature? What tools might better serve us as we find new relationships to our bodies, our art form, and our communities? We will explore these questions together in the studio. Priority will be given to applicants with an active independent or freelance career who are not currently enrolled in a university-level dance program or training equivalent. Students over 18 demonstrating an advanced or professional practice are encouraged to apply and will be accepted as space allows.
