ACHF Arts Access
ENFOLD will challenge and sharpen my choreographic process through a deep somatic enquiry in embryology for the first time. Ongoing self-assessment. Feedback from collaborators/performers, peers, audience (performances, Question and Answer and workshop participants), critics, and press. Written responses by commissioned artists. 2: Understand how these embryological practices can impact us collectively beyond the classroom to create profound and challenging artistic experiences. Feedback from collaborators/performers, peers, audience (performances, question and answer session and workshop participants), critics, and press, written responses by commissioned artists, and audience statistics.
We deepened our artistic research methodologies and I developed several strategies for choreographing with this embryology material. I had ongoing self-assessment and feedback from collaborators/performers, peers, audience (performances, Q+A and workshop participants), critics, and press. 2: Minnesota artists and audiences were exposed to profound and challenging artistic experiences. I collected feedback from collaborators/performers, peers, audience (performances, Q+A and workshop participants), critics, and press.
