Workshops at Bumbershoot
Choreographing for Performance and Building a Thinking Body
Have you gotten very good at taking class, collected a lot of vocabulary, technique and skill, and are looking for a way to bridge the divide between class and performing?
In this workshop we will work together to build sequences using our experience to transfer skills from class to stage. Working with ideas of hanging, balancing, and falling, we will make connections between form and function. We will work to stay open and alert, observing habits and tensions to make room to grow as a mover and thinker.

This intensive choreography series will be taught in 2 sections, Rope and Hoop.  There will be 8 classes and 2 practice labs included in the series. In the lab practices the 2 sections will practice together. An informal showing of the full group piece will be held on June 19th.  All classes and labs are 1.5 hours as follows:

Friday May 15th class: Rope 6:30-8. Hoop 8-9:30.
Sunday May 17th class:  Rope 11-12:30. Hoop 12:30-2.

March/April Workshops 2015

March/April 2015 Workshops

Hi,
Here are some places you can find me teaching. There are more to be announced. I encourage you to follow me from studio to studio to dig into the grab bag of theories and sequencing. Some of the class descriptions might seem similar in the same city yet the class changes according to who shows up and allows you to retain more and perhaps find a new training buddy.
Looking forward to working with you!
xoxo,

Bright Ideas Aerial Salon: Subtleties at Big Sky Works Feb 27th 8:30pm

Bright Ideas Salon is an open studio look into sketches and phrases curated and choreographed by Lisa Natoli. I often discover where I have failed and where things can lead as the work meets the audience and no one leaves the same.

Pieces of the same thing at different times. I’m talking into these boxes these boxes keep time these boxes can take this time and make it a different time. Pieces of time in boxes. Putting things in boxes. Putting pieces of the same thing in different boxes. Pieces of the same thing at different times. It’s the same thing. –Keith Haring

ALICE V at The Slipper Room 1/26 Sunday

Slipper Room NYC
January 26th Sunday
ALICE V
https://www.facebook.com/events/909632279069711

Brian Joseph Ferree and Eric Laurence Schmalenberger are proud to announce the return of ALICE. Over the rainbow and through the glory hole we go once again to The SLIPPER Room for a night of entertainment that has the ability to let out the waist on the trousers of perception and raise the hemline of reality.

ALICE is a vivid, bizarrely good time. Expect stunning acrobatics, incredible musicians, the finest performance artists and the more curiously talented of their ilk. She is an evening of variety that you shouldn’t write home about (even though your mom is super cute when she blushes like that)

Alice says leave your inhibitions at the doors and bring your dancing shoes. Alice says wear cute underwear.
With performances by:
Deity, Chris Harder, Lisa Natoli, Cassady Rose, Lisa Sokolov, The Love Show and MORE!!!!!
