MVMTscores is an open source platform of movement scores for anyone to use, not use, adapt, transform, critique, and share. The term ‘score’ means many different things to many different people and we are interested in gathering all of those seemingly infinite iterations here for others to dig through. This site hopes to embrace the political potency in the allographic nature of scores. Allographic in the sense that scores do not insist on a single, directly repeatable instance that might warrant the question of authenticity; rather, scores depend on the value of iteration and multiplicity to warrant their necessity. Scores also beg us to break the rules and to find new ways of being and moving under a devised system of control. They can provide us with political tools– listening, the imaginary, group organizing — to carry beyond the often separated space of a creative practice.


Fleet Moves is an annual site-specific movement festival created in and for the town of Wellfleet, MA. Fleet Moves offers tools for visiting artists and community members to investigate their relationship to place and engage in a creative dialogue about the unique life and landscape of Cape Cod.


Reinterpreting the Pollock’s Branch Watershed envisions a model of urban, movement-based exploration and storytelling—rooted in Lawrence Halprin’s participatory design process—that can augment the top-down engagement efforts by public agencies and external design consultants. The project methods draw on community-based workshops to explore the psychology and politics of space and reveal the experiential qualities and invisible boundaries embedded within the urban landscape south of the Downtown Mall. These workshops offer alternative ways to “see” the Pollock’s Branch watershed landscape. Through embodied forms of analysis—including movement within the landscape and sensorial experiences—the project investigates the complexities of the area as it is lived and felt with the potential to inform future analysis and urban design initiatives undertaken by property owners, the community, and the City of Charlottesville.


COME TO YOUR SENSES.

Come to your senses, a performance installation series by Katie Schetlick and Jordan Perry, invites us to reside within the futility of ideological petitioning, at least for an evening.  Through the endless manipulation of a configuration that seemingly begs for a system, we will witness what emerges when we no longer ask the ideal of a structure outside ourselves, but instead sense the minor.
