Hello from past CounterPULSE interns, Sarah Ashkin and Brittany Delany!
We are the curators of GROUND SERIES – a meeting place for artists to share, research and connect. The events happen each 1st and 2nd Thursday night of the summer at the Temescal Arts Center. To learn more, check out our first blog post on the CounterPULSE website.
We want to extend an invitation to the very special CounterPULSE community to join us for GROUND SERIES: JULY.

July is all about sharing research. We see dance as an ongoing disipline– enacting an experiment and discovering the results in real time and space. Join us for a rigorous and rewarding month of dance investigation.
July 5th is CAPITAL HEALING : a movement research workshop which intersects Sarah’s research on the effects of capitalism upon the body, Brittany’s research on improvisation and social dance, and their joint investigation of somatic healing through movement practice and performance. We will begin by working on capitalism’s influence upon our posture, muscular tension and movement restriction. Then, we will offer tactics in restoring wholeness by investigating call-and-response, group freestyle dances and theme & variation.
July 12th is SHOW & SHOW : a work-in-progress salon, which prioritizes movement response over verbal criticism. Choreographers will show a dance excerpt and audience members will show a movement response of what they witnessed. The idea is when we share our work with others, a multiplicity is created where a community can find common ground, learn new things from one another, disagree, and generate questions for the future.
If you are interested in getting involved please email groundseries@gmail.com We would love to hear what you are making, thinking, sharing.
Sarah & Britt
