Actions of investigation and communication between dancers are scored through directed attention acting as a refractive lens that articulates serious states of play. This compositional project is highly dependent upon dancers who have choreographic skills to be able to move away from a dominant visual concern and into other levels of articulation and compositional choice making. Adding exteroception to the definition of the somatic\, scores for improvisations organize physical attention across bodies and include set materials that shape the space.  \n\n\n\nThis work is collaborative on every scale of making\, in its production and performance. Driving the timeline is an edit of a lecture by James Bridle\, Planetary Intelligence. This auditory focus sustains an investigation of the definition of intelligence\, as an ability to communicate on the level of communion\, not just an ability to speak or send messages. Six to ten dancer/choreographers will each be given sections of this lecture in advance to develop scores in collaboration with dancers of their choosing that nest and weave together\, forming the fabric of this performance. The goal is a 35 minute work that embeds the audience in explorations\, articulations and evaluations of intelligence\, not as a thing\, but as a process\, not as a single being\, but as a collective of beings. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: Most of the performance will take place in the Barn\, which has a wide and level entrance and is wheelchair accessible. Weather depending\, there may be part of the performance that takes place by the lake\, which is a 5ish minute walk down a grassy hill\, that is somewhat steep and uneven ground. There is an option to drive down to the lake as well. There are no fully ADA accessible bathrooms onsite.

Each activity will pull inspiration from the formal qualities of fat: soft\, lush\, velvety\, deep\, full\, whole. This retreat will have a special focus on touch so that we can learn new things about how we like to be loved\, touched and tended.

In times of political distress and unknown\, how can we continue to move at the speed of our attention\, move with our dysregulation\, soften impacts\, and build support systems in our dances? We will modulate between scores that center our attention through slow weight pouring and then expand outwards into more scattered forms of attention to explore how tracking multiple things at once can loosen and attune our dance. In my teachings I always like to honor these practices as research into how our dances can teach us about the world\, and how to care for ourselves and each other in times of crisis and unknown. \n  \nBio: \nMiranda Busansky is a wanderer\, imperfectionist\, and queer multi-disciplinary artist  interested in the off-centered experiences of clay\, dance\, and performance. Their work is sewn in the fields of Wood-Fired Ceramics\, Wild Paper Sculpture\, Contact Improvisation\, and Butoh. Clay\, movement\, and Miranda\, are interested in the facilitation of therapeutic care\, arts education\, and capitalist intervention through collective practices of dance\, ceramics\, and improvisation.  \nMiranda most recently participated in a 6 month community based residency with an organization called Free-Columbia. They inquired into the fertile relationship between dance and ceramics while observing the experience of our bodies as conduit. Miranda taught a weekly movement class called Dancing The Disturbance\, facilitated monthly music and dance jams\,  and concluded this residency with a performance art exhibition at Lightforms Art Center in Hudson NY. \n  \nOr if you prefer to pay cash at the door\, send us an email to let us know you’re coming\, so we can help you find your way to the studio. \n \nOvernight guests welcome (with advance notice).

This residency explores eros as a life force – a queer\, sensual energy rooted in desire\, connection\, and creation. The installations are not static objects but embodied performances of the labor and movement that created them. Participants lift\, crawl\, stretch\, and reach – the act of building becomes choreography. Later\, these forms invite the audience to move through them and reawaken those gestures intuitively. \n\n\n\nCore Research QuestionCan an installation—built and physically experienced by its creators—invite visitors\, without words\, to move in specific ways? How can the maker’s intention be felt purely through material\, shape\, and landscape?Theme: ErosEros here is not about sex\, but about the drive to create\, connect\, and feel. It’s the energy that pulls us toward another body\, a tree\, a thought. It is soft\, curious\, powerful – never aggressive. It is what moves us.

They are both accomplished vocalists and multi-instrumentalists and both teach music. \n\n\n\nVinny Sardo\, as well\, has been performing in various musical projects for more than 30 years and is also an accomplished vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. \n\n\n\nJoe and Elena met Vinny at an outdoor open mic in 2020 during the height of covid where The MacS Band was born. The MacS Band name is an acronym for Mclaughlin and Sardo. The musical chemistry between these three artists is unique and enjoyable. \n\n\n\nwww.macsband.comwww.facebook.com/MacSBandNJwww.instagram.com/macsbandnj/MacS Band – YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPerformance Location\n\n\n\nWildHeart is located on 46+ beautiful acres in the Hudson Valley at 183 East Road\, Wallkill\, NY.

Through guided improvisation\, structured frameworks\, and attentive presence\, we explore how form and constraint can unlock freedom\, expression\, and transformation. \n\n\n\nThis practice encourages you to deepen your presence\, expand creative resources\, and discover movement that feels both new and deeply personal. It provides tools to support choreographic inquiry\, the creative process\, and embodied exploration. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we experience cycles of arrival\, departure\, and return—each time discovering new territory. This workshop features live music by musician and composer Lisa DeGrace. We invite you to join us; the only requirement is a willingness to begin.

As a pioneer in the art of harmonic singing (aka: overtone\, or throat\, singing) and a lifelong student of Hindustani vocal music (raga) as well as being a composer in his own right\, Timothy has gone deeply into the interior frontiers of expression. He will accompany himself on tanpura\, acoustic guitar\, and lyre. To conclude\, Timothy will offer a song for two to bring our expansive meditative state into a renewed\, grounded awareness.
