Scores & Traces

'Scores and Traces' brings together the work of four UK dance artists Amy Voris (in collaboration with lighting designer Cath Cullinane), Dominique Rivoal, Caroline Salem and Marguerite Galizia, in a two day event of score-based presentations, workshops, performances and conversations, taking place in the Gallery at LCB Depot (Leicester).

The event begins choreographer Caroline Salem who leads her morning movement practice devised over recent years in response to her own movement needs and influences (in particular the work of Mabel E Todd Barbara Clark Nancy Topf and John Rolland).

PhD researcher and dance-artist Marguerite Galizia will be sharing the first full version of her score-based practices: Space, Time and Rolling on the Floor. Developing out of her research into the practice of Self-Choreography, Galizia invites the audience to walk, sit and lie on the ground as she performs her solo with/to an audience as wit(h)ness.

For 'In the space between', Dance-filmmaker and artist-researcher Dominique Rivoal will lead a participatory workshop–lecture that focuses on the dyadic practice of inquiry, movement, and witnessing. The workshop briefly introduces the dyad as a method for developing one’s own voice in the presence of a supporting witness, before inviting participants to pair up and engage in a structured back-and-forth dialogue around a chosen inquiry, using voice, orientation, and movement. By taking turns as explorer and witness, participants attend to the space in between—where consciousness emerges through relation.

On the 19th February, the space makes way for lighting designer Cath Cullinane and choreographer Amy Voris, who will present their latest collaboration - bouquet - bringing a strange collection of movement together with a cacophony of floral hues.

The event ends with a short guided score of Caroline Salem's heart lines practice as a lead into an open discussion between the artists and the audience around staying with a practice, our relationship with 'personal practice' and ways of sharing.

Rather than set a ticket price, we have left the fee open. We suggest a £10 donation towards the performances and workshop and £5 donation towards the guided score. The final conversation is free. Donations will help cover our travel expenses for this event.

Info: The score is a preparation for more movement or simply a good day!

You are invited to join Caroline as she leads her morning movement practice devised over recent years in response to her own movement needs and influences (in particular the work of Mabel E Todd Barbara Clark Nancy Topf and John Rolland)

The first 8 offer a series of anatomical landmarks and the second 8 a series of body-space activations around which participants weave their own individual riffing of interconnectivity. There will be no partner or group work, it is a time for you

No specific level of movement experience is required, just an interest in tuning into how things are and a curiosity to delve deeper and play. Caroline will respond to the level of guidance needed for all to benefit, so if this sounds new to you that’s Ok.
