FluxDelux

FluxDelux is a no-experience-required participatory experience. Movement scores, created and narrated by choreographers Peggy Baker, Jera Wolfe and Jaz ‘Fairy J’ Simone provide a simple set of guidelines for participants to follow and interpret in their own, unique way. Highly flexible, presenters can offer an in-person group workshop/performance experience, or individuals can initiate their own exploration of the work at home. FluxDelux is recommended for participants aged 9 - 90 who share in the creation of a spontaneous choreography either on their feet, using a wheelchair, or any other mobility device. Peggy Baker Dance Projects offers this experience to you completely free as far into the future as possible! Simply hit the play button below to begin your Flux Delux experience.

For Presenters: In a group setting in which the participants access the sound file via handheld devices and earphones at staggred start times, result in a multi-layered, ever-evolving and constantly recalibrating spontaneous choreography. Throughout FluxDelux, participants navigate new and creative physical experiences that explore how we can all share space, hold space, and make space together. A gloriously eventful collective choreography arises through surprising, poetic, and empathetic encounters with others within the imperative of social distancing.

Creative technologist: Jacob Niedzwiecki.
