FALL MOVEMENT 2021
CPR - Center for Performance Research, Brooklyn

Sadi was selected to be one of the six choreographers featured in CPR's Spring 2020 Movement Festival, which was postponed due to COVID-19. In this reprisal, she will present Tectonic, a dynamic trio that explores the concept of sustainability from multiple perspectives. What is sustainable environmentally but also physically? What can the human body endure? How do the cyclic relationships between the animate and inanimate features of the natural world allow nature to sustain itself?
THE FIELD

OPEN CLASS @ LED
1420 W. Grove St., Boise, ID 83712
Times Vary
Class will begin with a series of tasks meant to generate heat. Through technical, strength-building, and improvisational exercises, we will investigate the body’s relationship with gravity. This study will progress into exercises that move across the space, developing the mechanisms for traveling, floorwork, and larger motions. The class will culminate in a phrase that combines the earlier elements. Movement will explore weight, suspension, and dynamics.
