Liz Lerman will share, in a workshop for dancers, movement makers and choreographers, several methods of embodying research to make dance. Her strategies include teasing out the dimension within subject matter to create movement material and subsequent scaffolds of information to help inform structure, form and content hidden within initial ideas.
The workshop will include time for reflection and dialogue on one's own role and focus in dancemaking.
(This workshop follows her Sunday, June 28th lecture at The Dance Complex; tickets and info available at dancecomplex.org)

Liz Lerman is a choreographer, performer, writer, educator and speaker. From a piece about her days as a go-go dancer in 1974 to a recent investigation of origins that included putting dancers in the tunnels of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, she has spent the past four decades making her artistic research personal, funny, intellectually vivid, and up to the minute. A key aspect of her artistry is opening her process to various publics from shipbuilders to physicists, construction workers to ballerinas, resulting in both research and outcomes that are participatory, relevant, urgent, and usable by others.
She founded Liz Lerman Dance Exchange in 1976 and cultivated the company's unique multi-generational ensemble into a leading force in contemporary dance. Now she is pursuing new projects with fresh partnerships, including a recent semester at Harvard University as an artist-in-residence; initiating the National Civil War Project which pairs theaters and universities to create new work and new research related to our civil war; the new work Healing Wars, an investigation of the impact of war on medicine (2014). Hiking the Horizontal: Field Notes from a Choreographer, Liz's collection of essays was published by Wesleyan University Press.
Liz has been the recipient of numerous honors, including a 2002 MacArthur "Genius Grant" Fellowship, a 2011 United States Artists Ford Fellowship in Dance, and the 2014 Dance/USA Honor Award. Her work has been commissioned by Harvard Law School, Lincoln Center, the American Dance Festival and the Kennedy Center, among many others.
The Dance Complex is a central hub of dance locally, regionally and nationally. We enable the creation, study and performance of dance. We sustain artists, audiences and the community through programs that connect movement and ideas. We celebrate curiosity and wonder for all in regards to dance.
