DanceLab: The Listening Story of No Words | Athena Kokoronis
DanceLab is a youth-led movement-research investigation.
In 2013, artist Athena Kokoronis worked with students at Dudley High School to create a site-specific dance for downtown Greensboro.
A series of interactive workshops led by Athena and dance teacher Angela Robinson explored Elsewhere’s living museum and Greensboro as sites for storytelling and experimental dance. The project culminated with an interactive performance during the Art in Odd Places public art festival in downtown Greensboro on November 1st. 2013.
The Listening Story of No Words explores a dance process that draws inspiration from the tradition of quilt making, line drawing, personal experience and expression through movement and improv. The project was developed during a 3-week residency at Dudley High School and Elsewhere museum with artist Athena Kokoronis and teacher Angela Robinson. (Video by Valeria Elliott)
