As with good spring vitality and readiness, I am launching into studio research for my fall production. A performance created through a series of studio encounters, amplifying sensation and connectivity. The team of collaborators Marla Hlady, Igor Dobricic, Anke Eckardt, Sandra Blatterer,  Ky Lloyd, and Heather MacCrimmon create a very fine constellation to challenge and support the work.

After the first week of studio meetings I participated in the "Month of Performance Art Berlin", in artist, Stephanie Hannah's storefront studio in Neukölln on the 18th of May. Alexa Vachon took the photo above.

These studio meetings will continue in Berlin throughout June and July, when and if you are curious and/or interested please come and take part, read on:

Open Call for Test Audience members for an interactive performance.

You are warmly invited to participate in a studio meeting where we are seeking people open to exploring and experiencing a performance in close proximity.

You will also have the opportunity to give creative responses in the form of audio recordings, video, photographs, writings, and/or drawings.

Choreographer/performer Shannon Cooney is researching and developing artful ways to amplify sensation and inherent person-to-person connectivity through movement in the form of a dance/rock/sway or embrace.

Your responses may be used as artistic material for the future production to take place in Berlin at the Tanzfabrik in November 2013. Materials for the feedback will be provided in the studio.

Each meeting is with a minimum of three people and lasts between 30-45 minutes. Please book a time in advance via Email or SMS. Please see contact details and times below.

Workshops in the early spring were full and varied; Reichenow (Berlin outskirts), in Paris (with Iris Trinkler, neuroscience researcher),  at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels, and in Berlin for Menako Seki.

Mentoring: I continue to mentor Cinira Macedo, and Didi Meier, and will follow them through to the completion of their BA in Dance at the HZT UdK Berlin this July.

And upcoming, for five weeks in June and July, I will be teaching classes to the BA Dance Students at the HZT UdK Berlin, which I look forward to as I believe strongly in this program and am inspired by these dance artists.
