Poster Design Brief

We need a poster for a dance workshop. This workshop is unique in that instead of focusing on dance technique or on classical compositional practices, it teaches participants a toolbox of a collaborative, improvisational methods for generating movement and creating dances.

The workshop is called SUMAC (Systems for Understanding Movement and Choreography). Our dance company is Susan Marshall & Company.

Here is copy:
SUMAC (Systems for Understanding Movement and Choreography) is a six-day intensive led by Susan Marshall & Company in which dancers and choreographers investigate collaborative approaches to choreography. Each day begins with an hour-long presentation during which Susan Marshall leads discussions on topics related to choreography and collaboration. Following this, Susan Marshall and SUMAC company members teach a variety of practices for collaborative movement-making that merge improvisational skills with contemporary dance technique and physical theater. Using these practices, participants will create miniature compositions in small groups each day. By examining and discussing these creations, participants leave with greater confidence in their creative abilities and a deeper understanding of composition and movement-making.
This intensive, hosted at Barnard College in NYC, brings together a wide variety of talented dance artists and provides them with a supportive environment in which to play, learn, experiment and share. The intensive also affords an exciting opportunity for building peer-communities and forging new creative bonds. SUMAC’s goal is that all participants leave with fresh perspectives, tools they can immediately use in their own rehearsals, and a better understanding of their own creative processes.
