Studio Presentation by Marielis Garcia & David Norsworthy

Dance Initiative welcomes a unique choreographic partnership, Marielis Garcia of NYC and David Norsworthy of Toronto as Artists In Residence at The Launchpad, May 21 through 28. Garcia and Norsworthy’s residency is incredibly unique because they need the Carbondale community to participate in their creative process to make a choreographic work that is a snapshot of Carbondale. Throughout the week, Norsworthy and Garcia hope to gather passing thoughts, anecdotes, jokes, profound questions, silly curiosities, fascinations, political concerns from the community which they will transform and abstract these “thought artifacts” into choreographic scores and structures that will serve as the source material their new choreographic work. This choreographic work is part of a series of small-community snapshots from all over the country. Come view this work in progress!
