- Friday morning LiquidBody Yoga at the Becket Arts Center in the Berkshires starts July 9 and runs through August.
- Teri Carter of Intention Dance Theatre and Caryn Heilman of LiquidBody team up to explore somatic dance performance with their multimedia duet iSpecies. Recently together performing at Dennison University in April, Teri and Caryn are continuing to sculpt the piece with rehearsals and dialogue through videoconference. Gotta love Skype!
- Cycling 74’s Jitter is an ultra customizable platform for multimedia programming. Ableton Live has just come out with a module for Jitter and Nana Simopoulos is exploring the live music possibilities of this plugin for some new LiquidBody dances.
- Caryn is choreographing a new solo to premiere at SomaFest in L.A. October 3rd. The theme of the festival is subtlety, embodied awareness, fluid power and refined articulation.
Just minutes from Jacob’s Pillow, the place in the Berkshires that first captured Caryn’s heart with its magical mix of nature and culture, Becket Arts Center will be hosting LiquidBody Yoga classes every Friday from 9:15a-10:45a in July and August 2010.
LiquidBody Yoga is a creative fluid system process that recognizes that your body is mostly water that can be sculpted with simple sounds, breaths and movements. It works from the inside out to improve circulation and build liquid strength. Through guided improvisational movement sequences that follow the natural curves of your bones, muscles and fascia, tension is released while honing a deep body-mind connection.
Tree inside Vinilion
It isn’t often that I get to perform at a space with a tree growing inside. The show at Vinilion will preview the new work I have been working on with composer/instrumentalist Nana Simopoulos. For a new piece I am calling Fractal, I have created a video collage of Greek sea and sky landscapes rippling through images of anatomical structures of the body and other natural forms. This projected on my body helps to create the context for movement that resonates from deep fractal journeys into the bones, muscles and fascia of my body. For the piece Nana calls Digida, I have created a Jitter patch that lets her virtuosic vocal improv control live video.
Theatro Fournos
In commemoration of International Women’s Day, new work in collaboration with composer/musician Nana Simopoulos. Interactive multimedia dance and live world music in a 70 minute concert at Theatro Fournos, MAYPOMIXALH 168, Athens, Greece. 9p.
