Caitlin Green screening, artist discussion and performance in basement of the Art Room Studio Building. Our Embodied Impulses is an exploration of the ways we reach beyond and through singular roles, identities, and archetypal expressions of self, by utilizing the body as a means of learning our capacity for doing and being. What is the body's role in reminding us of our multitudes and our reaches? (re-)Connection to self and each other has been the groundwork of this endeavor and a foundation for creative process. Collaborators entered the project in their individual spaces using movement scores that invited them into introspection via journaling and dance; then joined in a series of convenings to share and discuss what came up. At this short film premiere you’ll witness the collective movement narratives born from a merging of our personal movement processes. Meet us at our intersection. Featured artists and collaborators include dancers: Amalia Colon-Nava, Sierra Cribb, Camille Halsey, Paloma Irizarry, Sophiann Moore, Chloe Newton; videographer/editor: Terrell Halsey; & musicians: Michael Anthony & Mobey Irizarry.

Shannon Brooks This piece travels from upstairs, down the stairwell, and out to the parking lot. Audience directions: You are invited to be anywhere there are taped "Xs". You can move to a different X whenever you want, as often as you want, or in one place the entire time. Improvised movement and sound performance using objects, people, vibrations, echoes, memories, and intuition to see in the dark. What we don't see, what we miss, what we think we see, what we sense, funny feelings, what we run into, what we tip over, what we are surprised by, ghosts, white canes, step-ball-change, the edges of our capacity. Thinking about surreal contraptions that support our 'sight' once we have dissolved our eyeballs. Photo by Taryn Jones
