PERFORMANCE LAB

The Highways Performance Lab builds on the Highways mission to cultivate art that expands the frontiers of aesthetic traditions and plays a vital role in creating more evolved social worlds. It serves a diverse range of student/participants, from performance artists, choreographers, directors, writers and composers (both experienced and novice), as well as communities and constituents in crisis.

The Lab fosters a belief in the importance on studying with working artists who embody the experimental vanguards of their fields. Those teaching artists are encouraged to simultaneously deepen their practice as they expand it, reveal it, and share it with others. Through workshops, showings and discussions, the University cultivates new work, new leadership and dialogue between communities that overlap and converge at Highways.

MOTION THEATER
with NINA WISE
Sat, April 24 10am-12pm /// Sun, April 25 10am-2pm
To Register: nina@ninawise.com or 415-453-3766
Motion Improv Theater is autobiographical, physical and fun. It's a way to tell your story with your voice and your body: your whole being. If you enjoy moving and being with others who enjoy moving; if you enjoy telling stories and hearing stories; if you want to learn to be more spontaneous and playful; if you want to touch into authentic presence: COME!

This weekend workshop is for those who have had Motion Theater training and for newcomers. Together we will build a community of Motion Theater Artists in LA and head towards a longer workshop in September which will culminate with a public performance at Highways.
