Somatic Movement Arts Festival, L.A.
Performance Lab
Performance Lab is an intensive immersion in somatic performance art-making in a group context.
Continuum movement will be the particular somatic portal through which we organize our performance - using
its fluid systems language and techniques for the in-class Performance Lab score building though every
morning students will be tasting from a fuller palette of somatic movement offerings. Whether you live nearby
or are coming from far away, it is necessary to carve out the week for in-depth work together.
The festival has been structured to facilitate a deep somatic unfolding that will support the Performance Lab
process. Beginning with morning class, Performance Lab students will warm up somatically primed with the
same somatic impulses to start the performance-making journey during our Lab hours (so there is harmony
to our starting point each day and we use our Performance Lab class time most efficiently). Select additional
rehearsal hours have been set aside for extra help from Performance Lab facilitators. There will be two
conference calls prior to the start of the session that will begin the process of connecting and finding out
about each person's journey thus far and what they are hoping to express. The Lab will culminate in a
performance at Soma Fest on Sunday.
