THE UNDERSCORE
We deepen our abilities in contact improvisation and noticing composition through the Underscore, a framework for group dance improvisation originated by Nancy Stark Smith. Engaging in physical studies and group scores, we dance to investigate the phenomena that arises as we focus on various facets of the score. Then, we articulate the experience through speaking, writing, and drawing. We build on our understanding together—our individual backgrounds inform the experience, whether the Underscore is new or familiar to you.
