| EMBODYMENT PERFORMANCES (click here) SOMA Fest Performances present Kinesthetically charged contemporary and improvisational work from National and Local Artists. Performances are geared toward Conscious Embodiment as the artist's inquiry takes on the multiple challenges of skill, aesthetics, presence in the artist's internal world through tracking sensation and tissue change, while being aware of the external environment of the stage, other performers, audience members, and the world at large! The audience plays a participatory role with this visceral performance approach. |
