“Score”
A monthly dance happening started by Meshi Chavez that has elements, of performance, witness,improvisation and guidelines. Each month Meshi invites different Choreographers and Musicians to create the evenings Score.
A score simply put is a set of agreements or rules that will help to define how we as movers engage our relationship to space, movement, timing and each other. The purpose of having these rules, are to create a container while allowing each individual to push, expand, and move beyond the limits set. Bring your dancer, your artist, your curiosity, and your witness. Bring yourself to this process.
