MICROBATICS & INTEGRATING FLUIDITY (BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA)
October 26-27, 2024
Winston Reynolds & Kim Amankwaa
The proposed practice is an accumulation of their personal interpretations, and experiences gathered whilst navigating the world of movement, and takes inspiration from neuroscience, fighting, dancing, acrobatics, meditation, locomotion and partnering, to attempt to extract different ingredients from these forms and introduce both already established ideas and ongoing research into the subject cultivating a movement practice.
