The body is loaded — a container for the complex web that makes up one’s identity. In Driscoll’s class, participants will learn material from her new work and play with the processes she is using to develop it, dealing with state shifting and layering of intention into movement. This class will center on an investigation of movement, through improvisations and formal modalities, as a vehicle for meaning and debunking meaning. How do we allow in the multiplicity of daily narratives into our performing?

“Ms. Driscoll is fascinating in that she makes such utterly original work. It doesn’t look like anything you’ve ever seen before, nor can you imagine thinking it up.”  - The New York Times
