Mia Martelli – Workshop

Dance Workshop with Mia Martelli

Tidal/Volume (definition: the amount of air passing into and out of the lungs during normal breathing)

I understand dancing as echolocation. It is a way of making sense of what’s happening inside and outside me. Improvisation is a space to make choices based on pure expression rather than coherency. Technique is a question of, how broad is my access to tone in my body? I believe this spectrum can be widened through anatomical visualization, breath, and connecting to the pelvic floor. This is the site of the “volume knob” of tone in the body.

Saturday 2/26, 1-3pm, $15

Her videos and visual art have been published by Queerly Contemporary Festival, GRRL Haus Cinema, and various independent zines and publications.
