Improv Exploration
In this video I’m playing around with building even more movement based on the above score. What you are seeing is completely raw seeds of material- I only filmed one take to show something in a very early stage of the process. It’s so tough to not judge yourself in these moments... I try to remind myself that there’s almost always a few shapes/movements/transitions that can be discovered...

Bow talks about how she feeds her choreographic practice with other art-forms as well as how she manages to have hobbies while also raising a toddler.

"YOU. ARE. ENERGY.
I have been repeating this to myself lately, why though? I find myself googling about energy and going down rabbit holes of definitions, here’s a few: the capacity for doing work, the work that a ce...

When I learned I was going to become Associate Artistic Director, I started deep diving into our shared google drive. I stumbled upon what could be one of my favorite pieces of art Coriolis has made, the Unfixed Arias Catalog of Origins. It's beautifully designed with so many different poems, photographs, artworks, all put together for the creation and premiere of Unfixed Arias. I've attac...

To create the audition phrase I shared I utilized the poem Sea Gods by H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), many of her poems from the collection Sea Garden will be spoken and danced to throughout The Art of Seafaring. I wasn't able to memorize the entirety of the poem to create the phrase, so I focused on the first stanza, and pulled out the words that seemed most important. Hope, Sand, Rubble of the Sea, ...

Last night the cast for Sur/thriving came over for an impromptu photoshoot! We haven't talked much about their feelings, objectives, and perspectives as characters in this work yet so it was interesting to see what they naturally gravitated towards. I'm really excited about how the fabric stands out from the plastic bags, bubble wrap, and paper. We will be cutting the fabric to build real costu...

This is one of the two phrases I will be sharing December 15th at our Workshop/Audition. Each one has a different feeling attached and will occur during different parts of the work. One at the height of happiness, hope, community and the other in a more somber and crestfallen state. It's important to me to see the range of emotional experience and availability of each person attending. I want t...

For this month's through our eyes, I wanted to share my at home studio space. This window filled room leads to the apartment's communal rooftop. It was the perfect spot to investigate movement through COVID-19 and continues to be incredibly inspiring. The other morning I was working on phrase material for the upcoming audition and this was the view. Rainy windowpanes, fall colors dotting throug...

INSPIRATION –
After months of an artistic dry spell, this was one of those magical moments of inspiration where the all the ideas flowed so naturally and abundantly that it felt like the act basically made itself and I was just watching all the pieces fall into place. It's not often that the end result of a work is exactly as it was conceptualized, but this is one of those rare, beautiful moments.
