SPECIAL RESEARCH PROGRAM 2020-21: In response to the massive push, perhaps tidal wave, to put our practices, processes and artistry online, during the first shockwaves of the Covid-19 pandemic the Choreographic Marathon considered the artistic and aesthetic ramifications and developments that this push instigated for movement artists. Video-podcasts with 25 Toronto-based artists were created and shared over 5 months. This led to an online public forum with over 40 artists, and “embodiment online” workshops.

The goal: To share and deepen knowledge for continuing artistry on online

Key Considerations included:

Listening with the Body, the places of Imagination, Intuition, Attention and Energy, Connectivity and Connecting through the screen; The Room itself; Knowing and Learning.
