A relentless torrent of ever-shifting, concrete movements across the floor will develop kinesthetic, rhythmic and motor awareness. These simple, challenging layers intend to defamiliarize our bodies as a strategy to savor them as dynamic, transformative environments. It is a sweaty one-shot inquiry—at once individual and collective—to test limit, drive, scale, fun, rigor, interchange and rhythm.

Sherwood Chen performs and leads workshops internationally. He has worked as a performer with artists including Grisha Coleman, Anna Halprin, Amara Tabor-Smith, Su-Feh Lee, Xavier Le Roy, Larry Arrington, Min Tanaka, Antonija Livingstone, Sara Shelton Mann, Wanjiru Kamuyu, Yuko Kaseki, inkBoat / Ko Murobushi, Jess Curtis, Anne Collod and Jérôme Bel. For over twenty years, he contributed to Body Weather research initiated by Tanaka and his associates, both as a member of Tanaka’s company Mai Juku and Body Weather Farm in Japan, and with members of founding generations in the US and Europe including Oguri and Christine Quoiraud.
