MORTAL MATERIALS: WRITERS' WORKSHOP WITH CLAUDIA LA ROCCO
KEIR CHOREOGRAPHIC AWARD PUBLIC PROGRAM
02 March 2020 - 06 March 2020
EOIs close February 14
For writers and artists with a developed writing practice.
We talk about the things we do and make being ephemeral. As if we lasted. As if we had anything more than a little time and a little space ourselves in which to wrap around and through and under all of it. This is a writing/making/thinking/talking lab for artists interested in spending fifteen hours' worth of their non-renewable resources so as to explore collectively shaped questions and speculations. The Keir Choreographic Award will be one of myriad starting points.
This workshop is for 12 participants, selected via EOI. Participants will have access to all shows, conversations and talks as part of the KCA program.
WHERE: Abbotsford Convent
DATES: Monday 2 March — Friday 6 March
TIMES: 10am — 1pm
PRICE: $270 F | $190 DH member
EOIs close February 14
This workshop is presented as a part of Dancehouse's Keir Choreographic Award Public Program.
