What do we see when we look at dance? --Lisa Nelson

The Tuning Scores provoke spontaneous compositions that make evident how we sense and make sense of movement, exposing our opinions about space, time, action, and desire. They provide a framework for communication and feedback amongst the players. The scores draw from genetic and acquired skills of survival: how we look at things, what we “need to know,” the perceptual process of editing spontaneously in order to make meaning out of any moment.

‘Tuning’ is an ongoing dance research process— a collaborative improvisational practice that is designed to teach itself by doing— where the participants play with their desire to compose experience, to make their imaginations visible, to develop a sense of ensemble, and to transform their movement into dancing.

**This workshop is aimed at dancers and movers as well as musicians, actors, visual artists and others who are curious to investigate real time editing in movement collaboration with others.
