Dynamic Studies in Space, Gesture & Structure - Summer Intensive #3

The course immerses the student in both plastic and physical representation.

Each day is divided between hands-on construction projects using basic materials such as
charcoal, paper, string, wood, clay, paint, etc., and explorations in a movement studio relying
on the body to research complimentary themes being investigated with materials.

Work in the movement studio begins from the premise that the body, as microcosm, recognizes and can represent everything that moves. In the materials studio, concurrent themes and projects engage a dialogue on the organization of things both inside and outside the body.

In dynamic studies, we enter an abstract dimension, working with universal experiences and
sensations that are common to us all – such as color, light, sound, poetry, and substances.
Through the recognition and identification of these territories, we discover the subtlety of
gestural nuance and encounter how nature informs art.

Open to all levels. It is not necessary to be an artist or an actor.

All classes are taught by Dody DiSanto.
