<br>
<span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-size:12px"><em>At Once</em> with "Dynamic"</span> </span>is a duet of solos by Deborah Hay adapted, combined, remade by myself and Mary Margaret Moore. <br>
<br>
For 14 years, American post-modern choreographer Hay created and taught solos to a group of selected dancers from around the world in a program called the Solo Performance Commissioning Project. Each soloist was tasked with practicing the performance of their solo daily for up to a year and adapting the work to make it their own before performing for a public audience. This show brings together 2009 solo <em>At Once </em>with 2012 solo <em>“Dynamic” </em>(a northwest premier for both) to create a new work framed by conversations and demonstrations exploring the enigmatic, subversive, and invaluable work of Deborah Hay.<br>

I'm teaching three days of classes in PDX for those that have had enough already and want to get back into studio/body/creative space. Today on my walk through town, I was thinking about a simple score called "Composing the Room," and stopped to watch the goats perform it.<br />
<br />
In February, I'll be back with Adam to teach our special two day dance film workshop (info below). Sign up in advance so we can make some good, number-appropriate lesson plans! <br />

<b>ABOUT THE SERIES</b><br />
Technique + Scores is a daily practice that feeds the desire for physical rigor and
spontaneous composition and improvisation. The first half of the class
will focus on technical and physical exercises that warm up and explore
the capacity for endurance, athleticism, mindfulness, and specificity in
our bodies. In the second half of class we will introduce
compositional scores for groups that bring integrate imagination,
sensation, relationship, and and hone our craft as performers and
creators.<br />

<b><b><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;">PERCEPTUAL RIFT: Looking and Listening in Dance Cinema</span></span> </b></b><br />
Perceptual Rift is a special one-time workshop that Adam and I will be
holding in August. We will share some of our key creative practices by
making a film or films together as a group over the course of two days.
It will take place both at Velocity Dance Center and at the Northwest
Film Forum. <br />
<br />
The goal of this course is to heighten your perception of place while
working in two mediums, cinema and dance. It is geared towards both
filmmakers and dancers, or artists interested in exploring this
observational practice.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.conduit-pdx.org/detail_film.html#.UpzhGo35EXQ">Info & Registration</a> <br />
<br />
<b>More description:</b> <br />
The ideas that form our practice is similar to a perceptual rift, which
the artist Vik Muniz has described as what occurs when two "seemingly
contentious media," such as photography and drawing, are blended in such
a way that the perceiver feels vision itself."<br />
<br />
In these moments the media we're working with transform from our
individual media (dance and cinema) and become the physical place and
the perceiver's moment in that place. The rift that is created is
actually a new space, opened up, a crack in our hardened, accustomed
ways of seeing,<br />
into which the new experience flows.<br />
<br />
The workshop is an offering of tools that might help you open up that
rift in your practice; cinematic, choreographic or otherwise, allowing
you to expand how you participate with these mediums, and use them to
further your own senses.<br />
<br />
More specifically it will include working with observational scores,
movement scores, discussions of framing and edits, practice in making
short films and editing them. Bring your recording devices; audio,
video, written. If you don't have one we can pair you with someone who
does

CALL FOR ENTRIES ------ > > > r a d a r 1 1 . 2 1 . 1 3 v a n c o u v e r b c<br />
<br />
DEADLINE: 11:59pm Oct. 7, 2013<br />
<br />
British Columbia artists are invited to submit innovative examples of film and video that reflect the body in motion or dance-based performance for entry in RADAR, a night of short dance films screening at the <a href="http://www.viff.org/theatre/now-playing-coming-soon">Vancity Theatre</a> as part of the <a href="http://www.thedancecentre.ca/events/dance_in_vancouver_2013">Dance In Vancouver Festival</a>. <br />
<br />
Single channel video will be accepted in the following categories: narratives, documentaries, abstract and experimental shorts that are staged work remade for the camera (not documentation), choreography created specifically for the camera, as well as the moving body articulated through animation and new media. All work must be no longer than 15 minutes in length. Performances videos are also considered. Please consider our curatorial question – would we rather see this dance live? Does the video represent a strong marriage of two arts, dance and film?<br />
<br />
<b>r a d a r</b> is a program dedicated to the exploration and evolution of dance film through connecting artists scene by scene. Curated by filmmaker/curator Adam Sekuler and choreographer Shannon Stewart, r a d a r features movement based films of many budgets, styles and perspectives, creating a platform of local/national/international exchange that allows artists to publicly screen their work, discuss, get feedback, and meet other artists working in the same form. In 2013, r a d a r screenings took place place in Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Portland, and Minneapolis. <br />
<br />
<b>Who can apply? </b>Current residents of British Colombia<br />
<br />
<b>Entry Guidelines</b><br />

I dream of being able to work with a big group of people. To train every morning, explore ideas, improvise, make things, discover things. I could be the leader and I could also be led. I don't know if it's a project. I don't know if there is a specific idea in mind. I just see this - getting up everyday going to the same space, going through familiar exercises as a warm up into delving into the unknown. And seeing what happens.<br />

Adam and I have been mapping out our plan for this weekend. I'm looking forward to having an intensive time to unpack our process with other artists and that we get to learn and make something together. We'll be at Velocity Dance Center on Saturday and then working from the Northwest Film Forum on Sunday.<br />
<br />
There is still space if you are interested! More info and registration info is at <a href="http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/433361">Brown Paper Tickets</a>.<br />

It's amazing and a bit wild. I'm processing all notes and thoughts for a later blog entry.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I wanted to post something about <a href="http://feetlikebirds.blogspot.ca/p/classes-workshops.html">workshops</a> I'm offering in AUGUST!!! <br />
<br />
YES VERY SOON. <br />
<br />
In my continued resistance to having an actual website or a URL that makes any kind of sense at all, I decided to add PAGES to my blog and prolong that website building task another _________ years.<br />
<br />
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ LOOK, THEY'RE UP THERE ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ <br />
<br />
Which brings me back to my point about<a href="http://feetlikebirds.blogspot.ca/p/classes-workshops.html"> workshops</a>. That info is also up there ! ^ ^ ^ <br />

It wasn't quite like I expected. It wasn't a perfect calendar of nine months of daily practice with the respective photos, time log and sound notes I had planned. I didn't write numerous diary entries to my patrons as I had intended. I didn't make it more important than everything else. I repeatedly forgot my phone, camera, notebook, to book space, to bring food to do the proper entrance like a duck with food in my mouth. Sometimes I made a conscious choice not to do it at all. Sometimes I just completely forgot. <br />
<br />
At the Hedreen this continued as I symbolically finished out my practice as part of the Yellow Fish Epic Durational Performanc Festival (curated by the amazing Alice Gosti). I showed up late, forgot the food, forgot to write down notes, broke all the rules of the practice by caring too much about what the audience thought and/or allowing myself to get fixated on a physical idea or what my body can and can't do. <br />
<br />
BUT THERE. <br />
<br />
I DID IT. <br />
<br />
FAILING FOR 180 DAYS. <br />
<br />

<br />
The first part of my practice was fairly well captured <a href="https://www.facebook.com/shannon.stewart.54922/media_set?set=a.10151466748614392.595524.828184391&type=3">here</a>. Then I got too overwhelmed with life and now I have a backlog of photos to post. I don't know if I ever will.<br />

"Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be. The future's not ours to see. . . "<br />
<br />
I'm in the geriatric psyche hospital with my dad and other "complicated cases." It's activity hour on his second day. The volunteer musician's guitar was painfully out of tune; his timing uneven and hard to follow, yet these eight sad souls (myself included) gathered around the creamsicle dining table under florescent lights in too small a room, meekly singing along. My dad looked like a baby bird as his mouth opened his, chin tipped upward, singing quietly, you are my sunshine, my only sunshine. you make me happy when skies are grey. you always know dear, how much I love you. Please, don't take my sunshine away. He looked at me through his delusions and said very evenly, this is kind of a depressing scene, huh? Then the musician introduced the Beach Boys hit, "Let me go home... Why don't they let me go home? This is the worst trip I've ever been on." Yeah, Dad, it's depressing, also very surreal, and sadly, sort of genius. <br />
<br />
I think about what I've taken in in the last seven days performance-wise (Saint Genet & Ezra Dickenson) and relate it to this experience--the facade of mental stability, delicate well-being juxtaposed against the strength of physical constitution, the body's will to live even as it is attacked and neglected; the lack of resources to understand our minds and work with them when they have betrayed us in some way; the lack of dignity in living, the desperate and beautiful attempts to transcend the horror and banality of what it takes to stay alive and what it takes to die. Or at least I get that from how the work is framed, perhaps more than what is actually in it.<br />
<br />
I see, appreciate and want to go toward the attempts to create something
brutally real and beautiful simultaneously. I want to get at that, use
ourselves as material and posit something magnificent, yet grounded,
without the heavy dose of salesmanship and narcissism, the heroes and
antiheros, the exploitation with no real analysis of exploitation to provide context. I want more from it than what is there. I say this with the utmost respect for artists that go headlong unabated towards their vision. These are my questions and desires, not theirs. <br />
<br />
I myself am performing this weekend, attempting to dive into something vast and incomprehensible, to experience a series of fleeting moments of understanding in a performance space, nothing remotely as colorful or twisted as a room full of minds worked on by years of sadness or dementia.<br />
<br />
But this is what we do.<br />
<br />
I'm contributing to the work of Aiko Kinoshita and Aaron Swartzman's series of shows grappling with memory. The first showings at Project Space Available this Friday and Saturday. Info is here:<a href="http://umamiperformance.wordpress.com/"> http://umamiperformance.wordpress.com/ </a><br />
<br />
Also, for lighter fare, <i>In Transit </i>screens in the <a href="http://www.siff.net/festival-2013/alt-shorts">Alt Shorts fest at SIFF</a> tomorrow night - 9pm. One hour in the Philadelphia Subway with a go pro. <br />
<br />

Please excuse the somber and slightly morbid tone. It's been that kind of week.<br />

I'll try to make it short. First of all, I have a solo I'm making that is based on an ensemble that is not there. Secondly, I want to make a video of the ensemble. Thirdly, Adam and I were asked to make a music video. Fourthly, we have a long-term project in the works. Fifthly, I want to create a loosely structured working group that gets together regularly to train, test, & improvise so that as sporadic projects arise, there is a body of knowledge and history to build from. There are currently no set dates or times except for May 16. Shoot me an email if you are interested --> shannonkstewart at gmail. </span></div>

What are the new directions in dance (aesthetic, political, digital. . .) that we see happening in Seattle and the rest of the country? Join the conversation with this year's SCUBA artists then head over to the closing night of SCUBA. Free <br />
<br />
<br />
Two weeks ago I got back from taking <i>An Inner Place That Has No Place </i>on
tour to Philadelphia. The eight people in the cast and crew landed in a
city that was unfamiliar to most of us and were shuttled from hotels to
Temple University were we taught and performed. We shared the bill
with the smart and charming <a href="http://www.greenchairdancegroup.com/" style="color: #eb4102; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word !important;" target="_self">Green Chair Dance Group</a>
and were presented in a beautiful theater. The whole thing was a
whirlwind and an incredible experience. It helped me to see my work in a
new way and through the eyes of people who have no idea who we are.
The cast rose to the challenge of filling a huge space with their
performance. They worked their butts off and <i>An Inner Place </i>transformed and deepened. One <a href="http://thinkingdance.net/articles/2013/04/08/3/Buy-Me-Some-Peanuts-and-Crackerjacks/" style="color: #eb4102; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word !important;" target="_self">reviewer</a> said it was a “homerun.”<br />
<br />
<a href="http://velocitydancecenter.org/" style="color: #eb4102; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word !important;" target="_self">Velocity Dance Center</a> and <a href="http://www.philadanceprojects.org/" style="color: #eb4102; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word !important;" target="_self">Philadelphia Dance Projects</a> gave us a small stipend to make this tour happen. The rest was supported by an <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1386307589/an-inner-place-that-has-no-place-goes-on-tour" style="color: #eb4102; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word !important;" target="_self">amazing collection of individuals</a>, not least of which were the performers, composer and video designer who worked for next to nothing. <br />
<br />
Almost ten years ago, <a href="http://www.lingodance.com/kt/" style="color: #eb4102; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word !important;" target="_self">KT Niehoff </a>and <a href="http://www.la-alternativa.us/" style="color: #eb4102; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word !important;" target="_self">Kathleen Hermesdorf</a>
dreamt up a partnership that would allow them to take their work on the
road and named the program SCUBA. The idea being that motivated,
resourceful artists who were used to self-presenting just needed a
little boost (like an oxygen tank) to get their work into the national
circuit. Also, they realized there needed to be a network of smaller
presenters that could take bigger risks, support emerging artists, and
create a bridge to the more established national touring network
opportunities. And voila, they created the breathing apparatus with just
enough air for artists to pack their sets in their suitcases and
venture to new territory.<br />
<br />
Since then, many awesome artists from Seattle, San Francisco,
Philadelphia and Minneapolis have been part of the SCUBA National
Touring Network for Dance. Kara O’Toole and Tonya Lockyer have fought to
keep the program alive despite major funding cuts from the National
Endowment for the Arts and I’m extremely lucky to find myself the
beneficiary in 2013, a year when there was almost no SCUBA.<br />
<br />
It’s not easy—not for the artists, the performers, the tech crew, the
presenters, the fundraisers, not anyone. There is not enough time,
space or money to really make this thing happen. But somehow it does.
It's hugely important to developing as an artist and understanding how
your work connects to a larger field, to other artists and other
communities. And it’s totally fucking worth it.<br />
<br />
I hope to see you at the shows!<br />
<br />

I sat down to write and compile a newsletter and found myself lost.<br>
<br>
As an unimaginable horror unfolds on the other side of the country, it’s hard to know how to locate one’s own place in an event that is already being framed as “history.” What are the correct actions to take? Is there anything to do? Is there anything that can be known that wasn't before? How much empathy and in what direction? What does that look like? How does one perceive it?<br>
<br>
Bodies pushed to the limit and then subjected to unthinkable violence as they neared the Boston Marathon finish line, a man (nineteen years old) being “hunted,” an uncle citing being “losers” as the source of malicious intent, opportunists tossing immigration reform into the discussion about a completely senseless event. <br>
<br>
Sometimes in the life of making, performing, and trying to promote art, I find an intrinsic contradiction – a desire and responsibility to signal, frame, and respond to the world around us but at the same time having to disconnect and disassociate, to live in a vacuum, and keep the work progressing, the promotional emails moving forward.<br>
<br>
What do you do to make sense of this?<br>
<br>
I’m curious. Really.<br>
<br>
I’m celebrating my 36<sup>th</sup> year on the planet this weekend, embarrassingly mired in my own anxiety about what this means for WHERE I AM AT IN MY LIFE HOW OTHERS PERCEIVE ME WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AGING WOMAN LET ALONE AN AGING WOMAN THAT IS A DANCER WHERE SHOULD I LIVE DO I LOVE AMERICA WHERE IS MY COMMUNITY AM I DOING ANYTHING THAT HELPS OR MATTERS OR MAKES ANY SORT OF CHANGE THAT ALLEVIATES PAIN SUFFERING FEAR AM I AFRAID MYSELF.<br>
<br>
You know. That sort of thing.<br>
<br>
This weekend, I’m taking this (thankfully) well-functioning body as far into the outdoors as possible and far indoors into the interior landscapes of artists I admire (<a href="http://www.ontheboards.org/performances/collision-theory-finale" target="_self" style="color: #EB4102;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;word-wrap: break-word !important;">KT Niehoff</a>, <a href="http://nwfilmforum.org/live/page/calendar/2586" target="_self" style="color: #EB4102;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;word-wrap: break-word !important;">Luc Sante</a>, and many others). <br>
<br>
I’ll be celebrating by making things, teaching classes and sharing my work and moving into a very full spring. <a href="http://velocitydancecenter.org/events/scuba/" target="_self" style="color: #EB4102;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;word-wrap: break-word !important;">SCUBA</a> – <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/510315175698226/?ref=3" target="_self" style="color: #EB4102;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;word-wrap: break-word !important;">Master Class</a>—<a href="https://dancesmadetoorder.com/dance-film/2013/03/in-transit/" target="_self" style="color: #EB4102;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;word-wrap: break-word !important;">Dances Made to Order</a>—<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/111611099039716/#" target="_self" style="color: #EB4102;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;word-wrap: break-word !important;">Cinco de Gyro</a>—<a href="http://www.phffft.org/Test/index.html" target="_self" style="color: #EB4102;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;word-wrap: break-word !important;">Seattle International Festival of Dance</a>—<a href="http://risk-reward.org/upcoming/2013" target="_self" style="color: #EB4102;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;word-wrap: break-word !important;">Risk/Reward</a>.<br>
<br>
I’m sending my love and energy out to you, people I’m lucky to know, who have supported and inspired me, and for some reason or another ended up on my email list.<br>
<br>
Thanks for reading,<br>
<br>
Shannon<br>
