Trans*posing is a kind of score that asks us to find a concern, move it somewhere else, and see what happens…

Which kinds of relations can we entangle in through physical exploration? What can rehearsal do to open up stagnant positions? Which new questions emerge from our moving together? From a mix of embodied studio practices we will experiment in trans(posing, noticing relations arouse and pose, co/composing edges for collective transformation. We will also attend to the practices and politics of activist art-making. There will be sharing, and discussion. 

This hybrid-movement-workshop-as-political-laboratory- is an invitation for artists, activists and bodies of all kinds, for everyone curious about or committed to live art, performance, and embodied Social practice and activist art making. It’s for movers and artists re-considering how their life-long trainings can become politically oriented, socially engaged dancers/artists and activists, and folks who want a few hours of fun and collective learning. 

a creative leap that produces a prolific in-between space.

“Caro Novella's is able to create movement scores (and teach others to create movement scores) that allow for exploration and revelation, moving beyond our literal stories and what we think we know” - Monica, workshop participant
