Caryn is choreographing a new videodance "Icarus at Home". It features site specific solos created by LiquidBody dancers on location in home settings. Amidst the everyday rushed bustle of home activity, the dancer finds a way to enter a more spacious time-space and take flight.
Come by this lovely gallery on Summer Street in Adams, MA any Saturday afternoon from 1-4p between March 11th until April 23rd to see the new Greylock's Anatomy, a group exhibition exploring representation of the human form. Beacon 365 is among the works included in this show which also features artists Karylee Doubiago, Jo-Anne Green, Adi Marom, Lisa Nilsson, Daniel Rozin, Gordon Sasaki, John Schimmel, Diane Sullivan, and Thor Wickstrom. At 6:30p at the opening March 11th the live multimedia version of LiquidBody's Beacon will be danced by Caryn Heilman. World music composer Nana Simopoulos will play new original music on kora, voice and laptop.
Every day starting January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, another 20-30 second installment of LiquidBody’s new serially delivered videodance “Beacon 365″ will appear on the LiquidBodyArts YouTube channel with links published here on this website and LiquidBody’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
Caryn is so happily a part of this festival again this year, teaching a LiquidBody workshop for dancers, performers and somatic movement artists and also co-teaching with Emilie Conrad and Teri Carter a Performance Lab. The only festival of its kind and in my opinion, the most exciting frontier for American Modern Dance – one that follows a trajectory I have identified from Isadora and Graham to Emilie Conrad. From the website: ” In its fourth year, this pioneering event enhances somatic awareness in practice, performance and daily life. Fostering physical and perceptual transformation, individuals from all walks of life learn to bring themselves more fully to every experience, enhancing art-making and the performance of life. Our workshops help deepen creativity, presence, holistic health, self discovery, internal spaciousness, sensory awareness, liquid strength and refined physical articulation. We’ll explore how somatic experiencing awakens our inner world for a more profound connection with the performing environment and the world at large.”
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.
