ASTRO HIVE is a new work created in collaboration with the 3rd year dancers.  As an organizational tool, I grouped the performers according to their astrological sun signs and elements.  I offered detailed movement phrases, self-directed explorations, states of the body practice derived from my thesis research, and improvisational tools to structure the work.  I’ve asked the dancers to work with rigour on specific tasks, to make decisions in-the-moment in relation to the ‘music of their movement', while considering the other bodies and energies in the space.
