Chase Angier and Balinda Craig-Quijada. The purpose of URBANCHOIRS Project is to investigate the transformative nature of large movement choirs for participants and viewers and discover the relevance of this choreographic form to the 21st Century. As artists we are interested in cross-cultural exchange and how the “life story” (atmosphere, architecture, nature, and communities) of a cityscape influences movement behavior and action.A Movement Choir is a choreographic format created by movement theorist Rudolf Laban (1879 – 1958) that created solidarity and excitement among participants and viewers alike. Being himself an architect, a choreographer and a visual artist, Laban believed Movement Choirs, promoted a basic need in human society: sharing, relating and constructing together.For more information www.KristiSpessard.com or contact KiSpeDance@aol.comThe presentation Connecting Landscape – A Berlin/New York Movement Choir has been made possible through the generous support of private donors and faculty development grants from Alfred University, Kenyon College, and Drew University.
