Cori Olinghouse, Movement Research Artist in Residence, Ohio State University Department of Dance

Eccentric Motion Workshop: Monday August 9 – Wednesday August 18th (excluding Sunday)

In this two-week workshop, we will develop multi-layered personal movement practices. We will use principles from the Alexander Technique, Emergent Improvisation, Laban and inspirations from vaudeville, eccentric dancers from the 20’s and 30’s*, voguing, and clowning to build our own improvisational languages. Each day will begin with movement investigations that teach body use and awareness. We will learn to observe our own movement patterns and preferences and to consciously make choices about composing with these inclinations. Class studies will culminate in small emergent improvisation forms - guided by studies of weight, developmental structuring, character, transformation and vernacular dance.

*Eccentric Dance-an entertainment genre that evolved from the underground nightclubs of the 20’s and 30’s, with origins in Vaudeville, Charleston, and Lindy Hop. It is a form of visual comedy that uses a vocabulary of idiosyncratic movements that is characterized by a highly rigorous and extreme physicality. Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton are two of the stars that emerged from this movement. Eccentric dance also came from such underground masters as: James Barton, Danzi Goodell, Hal LeRoy, and Buster West.

$10/class
We begin each class with floor exercises to awaken, stretch and strengthen the middle body. We then progress to standing and traveling dance movement phrases that are based in musicality. There is often an opportunity to work together with other dancers. The atmosphere is relaxed and playful.
