This workshop was hosted by Forward Motion, a festival produced by Karen Peterson, dancer, choreographer and artistic director of Karen Peterson & Dancers. The first part of the workshop began with a dance technique class led by Donald Caputo, choreographer and artistic director of Full Radius, from Atlanta, Georgia. Its main focus was transposing movement from an able body to a seated body. Victoria Marks, from UCLA World Arts & Culture/ Dance, brought to the workshop the idea of choreoportritude. This concept uses tableau as a resource to analyze hierarchical systems reflected in the ways bodies are organized in space. Cameron Basden, Co-Founder & Artistic Director of Miami Dance Hub, led a discussion about what is dance, what is beautiful in dance and why we dance. The event culminated with food and wine as the participants said goodbye until next year's festival.
