LiquidBody at SOMAfest 2010 in L.A.

Caryn — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 02:42:27 +0000

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.”

LiquidBody Yoga at Becket Arts Center Fridays in July and August 2010.

Caryn — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 10:30:54 +0000

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.

More LiquidBody Music in Athens, Greece

Caryn — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:50:23 +0000

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.

Merde to Blue Light!

Caryn — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 07:01:06 +0000

Today Blue Light premieres – the new intermedia drama by Annie Loui. Caryn assistanted with the choreography, spending two intensive weeks last spring and this December working with this talented cast, incredible director and creative team. Caryn is fascinated by the depth and brilliance of Annie’s dramatic approach to contact improvisation and is thrilled to have been able to work closely with Annie on this project. She is hoping to bring it up to the East Coast either this summer or next.

Internet Classes and Workshops Pilot

Caryn — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 06:42:47 +0000

LiquidBody is researching nonlocal possibilities for education and community building with a pilot program of internet classes and workshops. With dancers, collaborators and students on both the East and West coast and abroad, it makes sense for Caryn to develop the internet as a rehearsal and educational tool. She began out of the necessity of keeping her East coast dancers rehearsed and trained while in graduate school out West, and has continued to develop this tool. She is still accepting interested students. The more diverse their locations, the better.
