Energy and Embodiment
Gesture became a part of our naming process. Gesture was not only the shaping of space but the shaping of sound so that our names became musical gestures. Subtly even the transfer of energy to each other begun earlier was embodied in this process of naming ourselves to each other.

Collaborative Projects in the Arts

Teaching Artist Jee Yun Hong Joins Expanded Music
Last week EXPANDERS viewed the use of documentation to create and artistic expression. Two screens of Touching: Memories of NYC and Korea from the multimedia Internet 2 production entitled MEMORY that took place in 2010 with NYU, University of Colorado, and KAIST in Korea. This collaborative work included the dancer/choreographer Jee Yun Hong.
Jee Yun Hong is dancer, choreographer, dance educator and artist. She is graduated from Ewha Woman’s University in Korea with a B.F.A. in Dance, and she received her M.A. in Dance Education from Steinhardt School at NYU in 2011. She has been majoring in modern dance and performing various styles of dance in Korea, New York, Massachusetts, Boston, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania and Uganda. Especially, as a dancer and choreographer, she has been worked with prominent choreographers and honored to perform at the John F. Kennedy Center for National College Dance Festival in Washington D.C. Through dancing, she believes that we will encounter our true-self in being aware of sincere mind and beyond.
We invited Ms. Hong to be part of our work as we start our collaborations for an Internet2 production on weekend of December 7/8 with another class, Collaborative Projects in the Arts. Her mission is to help us become aware of our bodies in our exploration of artistic process.

EXPANDED MUSIC: Its Impact on Education
What is EXPANDED MUSIC for the 21st Century? This NYU course is offered not as an explanation but as a quest, an exploration with you as to what it might mean for a new audience with new ears and a new sensibility. Today expanded music might be a natural occurrence rather than an experiment of stretching academic boundaries when it was offered some 40 years ago in conjunction with the Electric Circus in the East Village.
It seems historic that we should be meeting in Provincetown Playhouse (the original name) as this was an experimental group of artists in the village creating new work together. Now we share that space as historical companions to those moments of expanding the boundaries of arts until the edges were blurred and the various arts formed a continuum of interrelationships.
