BALLISTIC - a trigger to break through and shake things up; a trigger to activate speed, energy, spectacle, big movement, bold ideas and loud voices. Practice A movement intensive, driven by perpetual, visceral live music, investigating technique and improvisation, solo and partner(s) & practice, process and performance. Training in breath and energy modalities, hands on instigation, somatic improvisation and motion techniques, including methods of falling, inversion and flight, contextualized in three-dimensional phrases. Process & Performance Solo, duet and group work incorporates the training and utilizes improvised scores and set and created materials in the process. Each day ends with performance and feedback to recognize and cultivate the dialogues of key (source) and trigger (target), luscious (internal experience) and ballistic (external expression). La Alternativa ? Kathleen Hermesdorf & Albert Mathias La ALTERNATIVA (formerly MOTIONLAB), directed by dancer Kathleen Hermesdorf and musician Albert Mathias since 1998, is a vessel/vehicle for training, performance, creation and production. The mission to create and instigate work of deeply integrated sound and motion entwines with a commitment to collaborating among mediums and connecting with artists - locally, nationally and internationally - to bridge art forms and communities. The company has received substantial support in San Francisco and recently finished a 5-year Artist Residency at ODC Theater. La ALTERNATIVA has toured the US, Europe and Mexico and is a co- founder of the Alternative Conservatory. Hermesdorf and Mathias both hail from Chicago, Illinois and have been making work in the West since 1991 - meeting in 1994 in the multi-disciplinary performance group, Contraband, led by Sara Shelton Mann. They have been on the faculty of ODC School since 1996.
