Join New Museum Artist-in-Residence Camilo Godoy for a workshop that will use still images to inspire dance. Using improvisation and movement strategies, Godoy will lead participants in the development of new choreographic material inspired by images in his personal archive. The workshop will inform Godoy’s development of a new performance work exploring mourning practices and the resilience found in bodily joy and pleasure as part of his residency at the New Museum. No prior dance experience is necessary, and people of all physical abilities are encouraged to participate. This program is not suitable for those under 18.
This workshop will draw on Godoy’s Choreographic Studies, a personal archive and a constellation of collaged images that represent the human body performing gestures of eroticism, ecstasy, grief, and pain. Godoy sources the images from historical archives, art history, pornography, and medical materials. He intersperses them with photographs of himself and other dancers rehearsing and arranges the images in sequences of evocative poses that he treats as dance notations. Taken together, this archive presents an alternate history of emotional life, surfacing queer experiences of death, intimacy, and sexual expression.
