Rustlin’ Vessels: For dancers and artists / Adult movers with some experience

This class will provide space for wriggling, creeping, shaking and shifting your juices and pieces. Together we’ll follow our fingers and toes, practice transfigurations, get lost in sensation and heavy sounds, repeat gestures, deep-listen to objects and spaces, and embody bits of history and anthropology. I’ll propose games, frames and wormholes that draw on the language of somatics, science, dance, folklore and that relay from our commonwealth of contemporary performance practices. We’ll behave and misbehave, touch the familiar and the unknown, and bump our way through big ideas. Be it resolved that dancing is a way of thinking in the world.

Lucy M. May is a contemporary dance artist, teacher, and writer based in Montréal. She is attracted to the potential of collaboration and the edges of dance’s disciplinary boundaries. A native of Fredericton, New Brunswick and graduate of LADMMI and Rotterdam Dance Academy, Lucy has presented her choreographic work in Québec, New Brunswick, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Between 2009 and 2016, Lucy was a member of Compagnie Marie Chouinard, creating roles for seven major choreographies, appearing in film and new media works, and touring internationally. As an independent dancer she has worked with Margie Gillis, Alejandro De Leon, Sasha Kleinplatz, Lesandra Dodson, Melissa Raymond, Lucie Gregoire and Georgia Rondos. Lucy dances to wonder after what binds micro to macro, macro to micro. In the community, she contributes to The Dance Current and is a member of RQD, DTRC and the UDA.
