“…ones who are in the mist, who are the midst, who mix disorder. You the mixer, minor mixmaster in mining, digging with love … life demands we bring forth this potential again and again … “ (Fred Moten & Stefano Harney, All Incomplete)
We will be dancing through tangled pedagogies of time, sensuality, dis/placement, dis/order, while practicing how to play between others, between desires, between matters, between dis/appearances, between falling and dancing. And improvisation is key.
