The Seattle Festival of Alternative Dance and Improvisation (SFADI) is produced annually by Dance Art Group in Seattle, Washington.
Dance Art Group
Seminal ideas arising out of the dance revolution era—symbolized by The Judson Dance Theater of the 1960s—continued to cook slowly through the 70s, 80s, 90s and on… forming the central questions that led to the development of “Release Technique,” “Contact Improvisation,” and more recently the advent of the “Improvisati...on Festival.”
Through a video screening of samples of performance work from 1972–1999, Daniel will
trace the development of key ideas and dance practices in his own work and through
collaborations with artists including: Mary Fulkerson; Steve Paxton; Lisa Nelson; Sara
Blanche Theater (Moscow); and Lux Flux (Vienna).
These ideas, questions, and dance practices illuminate a hidden dimension that lies under the surface of much of the dance we see today, as well as being a practical approach towards researching movement and making dances. There will be time for questions, comments and observations.
Daniel Lepkoff (Vermont) played a central role in the development of Release Technique with Mary Fulkerson and Contact Improvisation with Steve Paxton in the 1970’s, is a founder of NYC's Movement Research and has taught and performed in festivals and studios worldwide. His writings have appeared in Contact Quarterly, the Movement Research Performance Journal, and Contredanse Publications (Brussels). Daniel considers movement as an ever-present living dialogue with our environment. His work explores the form and composition in these interactions, and is known for his commitment to this research as a way of composing performance works.
