In Along the Lines we give credit to the impact and significance of experiential, personalized and liberating approaches on artistic, educational and human growth.

Writings, interviews, photographs, audio recordings and videos arranged in the space create a multi-directional map of artists, methodologies, concepts and events.
Shared narratives and memories by and about artists and practitioners we know and with whom we have studied and/or danced reveal the multi-dimensional nature of our journeys embedded in a larger dance historical context. The work of these artists and teachers stems from the experiments of the Judson Dance Theater, and from body-mind practices set in motion since the early 20th Century.

A mesh of connections is exposed that has allowed reciprocal exchange of knowledge, skills, and inspiration to flow between places, people and times. Further the lecture/performance reflects how our own work as dance artists has been/ is propelled by an attitude that seeks an engagement with change and with the desire to let work evolve – at times into new and unknown realms.
Before and after the lecture, audience members can explore the material that form the map in their own time.
