Cave Forms, a vivid space dance research, rose up from the deep waters into Temescal Arts Center March 2016. Throughout two weekends, there were a series of events that formed a constellation for artist and participants. Most events were intimate performances, to create an atmosphere + vibe.
Cave Forms is:
An ongoing inquiry instigated by Margit Galanter, with feedback and exchange with the primary movers Mara Poliak + Frances Rosario, in conversation through dancing with Asia Wong in the outdoor caves. Cave Forms expands time, makes time, and gives space for the invisible to reveal itself and be seen. The project is nourished through exchanges that forge its versions, inviting a transreceptivity in choreography, empowered through felt-sense choice-making and composition.
Darkness, no creativity, togetherness, star-gazing, reciprocity, perceptual vibrancy, gathering, seeing and being scene, hermeticism, constellating, fecundity, channeling.
As F/ Genesis said the other night, “In-your-face Yin”
Cave Forms WORKSHOP. Experience caving practices — for perceptual vibrancy, as a way to slow down, for fun, + to enhance your view for the performance constellation to come.
Cave Forms DARK PERFORMANCE. In the Dark: watch the forms appear and disappear, and your perceptions change. This nested cave show takes place in the lowest light possible. Very limited seating.
Cave Forms BARE PERFORMANCE. The bare show caving performance. Single images, sensation + design, no creativity, cave mounds finding their communication together in the vivid space. Limited seating.
Cave Forms UNFOLDING. This culminating performance will arise in response to the earlier discoveries in the constellation, and the fecundity of the Cave.
This event was followed by a dinner from neighborhood restaurant Shangri-La Vegan and a Slumber Party and the unveiling of the Group Cave - a massive nine-sided Cave Form created for group cave experimentation.
Cave Forms SLUMBER PARTY. Quiet, together, hermetic, slumber, and party. We will experiment. You can do your own thing. Some just might dance.
Cave Forms CAVING. Hermetic together. This event features The Group Cave - a massive nine-sided Cave Form, and provides time and space to practice caving on your own, as well. With the potency & materiality of the Cave.
