Class Description: Bodyscapes is a space for reconnecting to the ecologies of our bodies as they regulate, relate, and respond to their respective environments and communities.

In this workshop offering, we will explore relationship to land through improvisational movement, sensory walks along PS21’s extensive trail network, and creative prompts designed to help participants map, archive, and integrate their experience. This is a listening practice, a space for creative movement, a cultivation of communal care, and a durational exercise in witnessing our bodies and spaces through an ecosomatic lens.

No movement experience necessary.
All art materials will be provided. 

 

TEACHER BIO:

Charlotte Stickles is a movement artist with an inquiry around how dance lives beyond its more traditional western performance and pedagogical settings. She has worked in various capacities as a performer, educator, and movement specialist - as a creature performer, film actor, movement director, choreographer, and collaborator for numerous contemporary performance works. Charlotte has presented her own work in galleries, public spaces, and on screens - and has spoken about her research in the field of dance and performance at the Women in Dance Leadership Conference, public radio, and at various sites and museums across the country. She graduated from The Ohio State University with a BFA in Dance and is currently pursuing her Masters in Dance/Movement Therapy at Pratt Institute. In researching the ephemeral and communicating the lived experience of a body, specifically through a lens of ecosomatics, ecology, and horticulture, Charlotte transfigures the boundaries of dance as a means to reimagine sustainable and integrated living in a shifting world. www.charlottestickles.com

About PS21

A vibrant center for contemporary performance in the Hudson Valley, PS21 “presents work that challenges and invites” (The New York Times): adventurous productions by leading and emerging American and international artists in music, dance, and theater, and visionaries creating entirely new genres. On our open-air Pavilion Theater stage, across our expansive, unspoiled grounds, and in the diverse surrounding communities, PS21 cultivates and presents productions that transcend aesthetic boundaries and revitalize existing artistic languages and grammars. Throughout the year, we host developmental residencies for dancers, musicians, actors, and creators of original, even unclassifiable new work. Rooted in community collaboration, PS21’s programming engages creatively with critical global and social issues. It is a mecca for innovative and original artistic voices, a destination for performance that can be experienced nowhere else in the region. PS21’s Pavilion Theater is a green-energy marvel surrounded by 100 acres of unspoiled meadows, trails, and woodlands that are a haven to wildlife and visitors across the region.  Integrated into our unspoiled campus, the theater embodies our commitments to the public: open, inviting, and optimized for their enjoyment and encouraging citizen expression and participation.
