A weekend of dance development, feedback, mentoring, a production and video at the end of it all and later followup.

Question 1: how long is a marathon? 26.2 miles •
Question 2: how long is the choreographic marathon? 26.2 hours •
Question 3: why? to learn the Art of the Possible in a shared community pulling each other along not because it’s easy, but because it is hard, going deep inside yourself and drawing on inner creativity and strength that you might have never known even existed.

Take an idea & Run with it for 26 hours 385 seconds & beyond

Work within your own creative process. Break blocks. Move work forward. Build creative stamina. Hit the wall and find out what is at the other side.

Come with material to test, twist, develop, cut, reflect, refashion, reason, rescue and refine. Share feedback and take it immediately back into the studio. Wrestle with angels. Play with demons. End with a work unlike anything else you’ve created or performed before.

Maxine Heppner will mentor 4 groups of choreographers and their dancers over 26.2 hours of creative flow, discovery, creation and performance. Jessica Runge and Takako Segawa will assist as coaches.
