R I F F T A L K S _ 09 IMPROVISATION and PERFORMANCE Saturday May 11 at 7 PM performances and conversation with MAYFIELD BROOKS K.J.HOLMES DANIEL LEPKOFF JOYA POWELL talk moderated by JARED WILLIAMS+ JEN POLINS in the WORKROOM @ 33 Hawley Street |
RIFF TALKS offers the local community a chance to get up close to internationally renowned contemporary artists, offering performances, workshops, and dynamic panel discussions focused around critical themes in dance.
RIFF TALKS began in 2014 in the shell of the now majestically renovated 33 Hawley Street. Our first RIFF: IMPROVISATION and PERFORMANCE was hatched with Nancy & Peter in a lively discussion. Since then, RIFF TALKS has been a cornerstone of SCDT curative programming and we are so pleased to circle back to riffing about Improvisation shaped performance. We have lost so many and are honored to be able to celebrate and appreciate the legacies of our dear friends and mentors Nancy Stark Smith, Peter Schmitz, Kathleen Hermesdorf, and Steve Paxton.
RIFF TALKS is an essential program of SCDT, whose mission holds an abiding respect for the tradition and history of reinvention and a resolution to continue challenging, established ideals. SCDT serves as a hub for performance art of the highest quality by connecting communities on an international scale. SCDT showcases contemporary movement training and performance practices that embrace multiplicity, arouse curiosity, and emphasize personal choice.
