WORKSHOPS

Public Workshop with Molly Shanahan
Saturday June 4, 2005
1.30pm-4.30pm
$20

Open to all levels of experience, this workshop integrates the multiple documentation processes explored in GLANCE. Shanahan will encourage participants to be curious about the very notion of geographical center and to view themselves as epicenters that shift in time rather than as fixed spatial configurations; illuminating relationships between external sight and internal sensing, present moment awareness and memory. For workshop information/registration: (773) 281-0824 or

GLANCE: Molly Shanahan’s Eye Cycle
Publication Launch

Sunday June 5, 2005 – 5pm
Free

GLANCE: Molly Shanahan’s Eye Cycle documents from multiple perspectives the creative development of Eye Cycle. Including an interview with Shanahan by Lucia Mauro, journal extracts, audience responses, design sketches, video stills, and a CD featuring O’Donnell’s score, GLANCE has been developed to spur ongoing dialog about the nature of documentation of live performance. This event includes the participation of contributors to GLANCE, and audience discussion

Masterclass with Molly Shanahan
Tuesday June 7, 2005
10.30am-12.30pm
$12

This masterclass will focus on the experience of the eyes in shaping spatial connections in contemporary movement. Participants will be encouraged to shift their attention from the body's formal outcomes toward ocular curiosity about the shifting landscape of the studio environment. Always inviting individual adaptation and interpretation of sequences, Shanahan tends toward an attention to gravity and flow, poly-articulation of the body's spirals, and a gentle allowance of the ball-and-socket joints. For masterclass information/registration: (773) 281-0824 or info@linkshall.org
