Topia Arts Center presents a preview performance of LiquidBody's Resonant Streams: An Ancient Call on Oct. 16th at 4p at C.T. Plunkett Auditorium in the heart of downtown Adams, MA in the Berkshires. Supported in part by a grant from The Wiilliam J. & Margery S. Barrett Fund for Adams, Cheshire and Savoy, a fund of Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, this audience-interactive multimedia dance performance features 8 dancers, live original music by Nana Simopoulos, and two video artists creating virtual sets and costumes. A co-production between Topia Arts Center and the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine in New York City, this production is part of the Cathedral's exhibition The Value of Water: Sustaining a Green Planet that opened Sept. 22nd and runs through March 25. Admission is free. Donations to Topia Arts Center will be accepted. Resonant Streams: An Ancient Call is about water – the water in our bodies, the ancient seas where life began, and the flowing streams that sustain us.

Resonant Streams: An Ancient Call premiered Nov. 11th and 12th at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in NYC

Resonant Streams: An Ancient Call is a site-specific audience-interactive multimedia dance that premiered on November 11th (11/11/11) and continued on the 12th at 8p at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York City. It featured a cast of ten dancers, three live musicians, two multimedia artists creating virtual sets and costumes and guest appearances by visionary Continuum Movement founder Emilie Conrad and noted author, storyteller and African spiritual leader Luisah Teish. Created for the Cathedral's The Value of Water series that includes a visual art exhibit that opened September 22nd, Resonant Streams offers an experience of ourselves as water, of our interconnectedness to all water everywhere and of our origins in the ancient primordial seas. As we as fluid systems immerse ourselves in water, we are able to release and recreate our form responsively as we connect through resonance to each other, our ancient roots, our planet and beyond and a creative potential. There was a workshop on November 9th at 7-9:30p for a 25 member Sound and Movement Choir that helped create resonance in the space.

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.
