SEE YOU IN CLASS. Friday, December 27, 2013 Portland Winter Workshops We are in the home stretch of the holidays and though I usually start to feel a downward pull on my psyche as we veer into the uninterrupted grayness not brightened by twinkling christmas lights, mindless shopping and presents, right now I feel done with it.  I'm ready for 2014.  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. 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!  SPECIAL WORKSHOPS at Conduit in PDX Dec 27 - 29 | 11am - 1pm TECHNIQUE + SCORES ABOUT THE SERIES 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.   February 8 & 9, 2014 | 12 - 5pm PERCEPTUAL RIFT: Looking and Listening in Dance Cinema  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.  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. Info & Registration  More description: 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." 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, into which the new experience flows. 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. 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 Thursday, December 19, 2013 some good dance jams I just finished my second session of teaching Intro to Dance and got a request for my playlist.  Because I obsess about having the right music, I very much appreciate this.  Here is the playlist I've been working off of for my beginning modern and intro classes.  cheers!  Monday, December 02, 2013 RADAR in Brooklyn | Classes in SoHo We are in NY and at this point I'm still walking around thinking how much I love this city.  Tons of awesome stuff going on as usual.  I'm excited to check MR's La Song Ya fest.

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.

Wednesday, August 07, 2013 Twenty second artist talk --> At New Aesthetics last week, we had a pub night wherein the twenty participants had five minutes to share whatever they wanted about their work, practice, etc.   I made this slide show that was over in twenty seconds and then said some very cryptic things.   Here are captions for the slideshow:   [1] THIS IS WHAT I’VE GOT [2]  my silly face in luche libre [3] DANCE FOR OTHER PEOPLE [4] A Crack in Everything by zoe | juniper (work in progress performance at Trafo in Budapest) [5] Titan Arum by salt horse (photo by Tim Summers) [6] Make Believe by tEEth (with Noel Plemmons, Whitebird, Portland photo by Aaron Rogison) [7] Make Believe by tEEth (with Phillip Elson, Molly Sides, Noel Plemmons, Photo by Aaron Rogison) [8] MAKE SHIT WITH SOME MONEY [9] memory (loss) bank (a two year collaboration between myself and Adam Sekuler that spawned two films and three works for stage) [10] A Better Container by Shannon Stewart (photo by Adam Sekuler) [11] Third Floor a film by Adam Sekuler and Shannon Stewart (for Seattle International Film Festival 2012, photo by Adam Sekuler) [12] Third Floor [13] A Better Container by Shannon Stewart (with Sam Mickens, Marissa Niederhauser, Mary Margaret Moore, Northwest New Works at On the Boards) [14] An Inner Place That Has No Place by Shannon Stewart (Aaron Swartzman, David Wolbrecht, Mary Margaret Moore, Meredith Horiuchi, Rosa Vissers, photo by Adam Sekuler) [15] An Inner Place That Has No Place (photo by Adam Sekuler) [16] An Inner Place That Has No Place (SCUBA national tour 2013, photo by Tim Summers) [17] An Inner Place That Has No Place [18] An Inner Place That Has No Place [19] 1922 a film by Adam Sekuler, Daniel Mimura, Shannon Stewart, Meredith Horiuchi, Rosa Vissers, David Wolbrecht, Aaron Swartzman, Jeff Huston (photo by Adam Sekuler) [20] 1922 [21] DAVID AND DEBORAH [22] more wind by Shannon Stewart (for Next Fest NW: Real/Time at Velocity Dance Center) [23] cool picture of david lynch by I don’t know who [24] thin skins a film by Adam Sekuler and Shannon Stewart with Mary Margaret Moore (made for Twin Peaks Film Festival 2012) [25] Shannon and Deborah Hay after the apocalypse in Findhorn, Scotland [26] 180 Days to Fail by Shannon Stewart (a tribute to my 9 month practice of “Dynamic” by Deborah Hay as part of the Yellow Fish Epic Durational Festival at the Hedreen Gallery) [26] “Dyanmic” by Deborah Hay (a document of one of my daily practices practice early on) [27] “Dynamic” by Deborah Hay, adapted by Shannon Stewart (my last practice after nearly 10 months of daily practice at the Hedreen Gallery, Seattle, photo by James Arzente) [28] MAKE SHIT WITH NO MONEY [29] COME.GET.TO.THIS [30] come.get.to.this.

In the meantime, I wanted to post something about workshops I'm offering in AUGUST!!!  YES VERY SOON. 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. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ LOOK, THEY'RE UP THERE ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^                                                                                                                                    Which brings me back to my point about workshops.   That info is also up there ! ^ ^ ^  Thursday, July 18, 2013 DANCE CHURCH ONE TIME ONLY DANCE CHURCH SUNDAY JULY 21 10 - 11:30AM VELOCITY DANCE CENTER    I'LL BE YOUR GUIDE. NEVER STOP MOVING. The end of "Dynamic" 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.    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.  BUT THERE.  I DID IT.  FAILING FOR 180 DAYS.  (MORE ACTUALLY) Here is the photo from my first practice in Berlin at Martin and Todd's apartment in Kreuzberg.   And here is a photo from my last practice on Monday at the Hedreen Gallery in Seattle (photo by James Arzante). The first part of my practice was fairly well captured here.  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. Saturday, June 29, 2013 Trying to get to New Aesthetics in Vancouver B.C. I have spent weeks contemplating how to financially make this work and just before submitting a new credit card application, I stopped and asked myself, is there another way? When you are working as an artist, you never get an an influx of cash that helps you pay back your debt and it is rare to get a professional development grant. I decided to give myself the advice I give organizations and fundraisers all the time, "You have to believe in your work and ask for support." Overnight, three people chipped in and covered a day of housing and meals.  I can hardly believe it With hope and great humility, I thank you for your time and for consideration either way. Sunday, June 23, 2013 PORTLANDIA I'M BACK IN PDX.  IT'S SOLSTICE.  IT'S DREAMY AND TOTALLY LIVING UP TO IT'S "WORTHY OF HAVING A SATIRICAL TV SHOW ABOUT IT" STATUS. I AM TOTALLY LOVING IT.

June 21 - 23 |  Artists Repertory Theatre  GET YOUR FREAKIN TICKETS NOW!   Wednesday, May 22, 2013 Life is so much stranger than art "Que sera, sera.  Whatever will be, will be.  The future's not ours to see. . . " 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.  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. 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.  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. But this is what we do. 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: http://umamiperformance.wordpress.com/ Also, for lighter fare, In Transit screens in the Alt Shorts fest at SIFF tomorrow night - 9pm.  One hour in the Philadelphia Subway with a go pro.     Please excuse the somber and slightly morbid tone.  It's been that kind of week. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom) About The Real Shannon Stewart I make things – performances, organizations, scores, films, workshops, blog entries, and conversations. I think it’s all dance and choreography. I work to learn about and integrate the concepts, issues, and fields of my interests through the knowledge, memories, and experiences of bodies. I think about the invitation created through the ritual of performance, relying on aesthetics to hide and reveal meaning, the rules of provocation created in any composition. I think about the complexity of human connection. I think about place, inequality and privilege. I think about the innocence and landscape of the body, ideas of safety and freedom, the promise of love and heartbreak and beginning again and again and again.
