A 12 week composition mentorship with Nita Little where performance meets composition: the integration of somatic action & art making for improvisational performance in dance and other forms of artistic practice.

Where: Virtual

When: March 3-May 12, 2025

Deadline for applications: 3/1/25

In mentorship we explore how embodying attention and intention can be the roots from which content is generated through relational practices which are generative of emergent forms. The quality of our relations within ourselves and with our worlds are key to this creative investigation. We study actions of co-composing, the embodiment of attention, and scoring. We examine creative thinking and seek to understand how content and form relate and may be refined. We get personal, to understand what you are bringing into this process, how you think, how you attend to your own personal creative processes and how you are in communicative practice with your world.  We do this work through meeting for 3 hours every other week, and through two private one-on-one sessions with Nita (more are possible with additional reduced fee). You may also meet with your cohorts.

We anchor our work in the questions: “What is this art here to accomplish? What is this piece doing, rather than what is it about? How are embodiment and relational practices the anchor of our work?”

To do this work we begin with the notion that the world is always generative and that that exists on the level of the very small and close at hand, as well as on the level of the universe. Our relations with those things, beings, thoughts or conditions that are present to us are important in terms of our co-creative practice. Are we speaking through our bodies to be in-touch? Are we listening? It is in engaging inter and intra-actively with immediacy that we will find those conditions that excite the creative emergence we seek.
