Liz Erber

In the beginning of each class we will focus on freeing the body, voice and pen. We will play with embodied sound and language, and free ourselves of grammatical restrictions. From this environment of play, we will explore the connection of effort and dynamics in our movement to effort and dynamics in our writing; expression in our movement, to expression in our writing. We will also explore image in movement and image in writing. By the end of the course students can choose if they want to go in more of a poetic or prose/story direction. There will be the opportunity
to share work via small performances.
