Performance Project

Ms. Bradshaw will create a dance and visual-art event that is an ode to the mysterious and compelling nature of the natural world. It will be an imaging of the constant change that occurs in nature as everything under the sun comes into focus, evolves, and dissolves away. The working title of the project is “Songs of Despair, Songs of Bliss.” Students will build and work with puppets, objects, and costumes, as well as movement. The creative process will include structured improvisatory explorations, flanked by intervals of meditative practices that explore the movement in stillness and the stillness in movement. Attention will be paid to bringing out the unique abilities of each participant and to creating a multilayered experience for the performers and for the audience.
