AGAINST THE BODY
Sundays 2-4PM
Feb. 26 - April 1 (6-weeks)
This six-week workshop provides techniques and context for a possible
post-butoh practice.
Beginning with the four animal forms of Darkside
Dance, the participants are guided through
various stages of darkness to
arrive at the choreographed world of Universe B.
Week 1: DARKSIDE DANCE.
The body as a medium of sorcery. The four foundational darkside forms:
Snake (Sex), Spider (Death), Frog (Desire), and Monkey (Fear).
Week 2: THEORY OF THE CLOWN.
Mimicry as a form of aggressive action.
The Circle. The Mouth. Crazy lines. Parody, formal chaos, and laughter.
Week 3: BEWARE THE WORD.
The dancer's vow of silence. Choronzon and the babbling Ego.
Sensation and the problem of Good vs. Evil.
Week 4: OATH OF THE CYBORG.
Practical steps towards an embodied antihumanism.
Dance as the creation of a virtual body in a virtual world.
Cobwebs in the sky: immateriality, spirituality, and horror.
Week 5: SORCERY AND REVOLUTION.
Speaking lies to power. Walking the Other way.
Business-as-Usual. Becoming-Enemy. Isolation.
Week 6: UNIVERSE B.
Choreography and the illusion of a unified World.
Theater as the opposite of Life.
Vampirism, Nomadism, and Anti-Civilization.

Antibody is making a horror film on 16 mm!
Help support the production of BAU BRUT
by contributing to our IndieGoGo campaign:
BAU BRUT (BAU standing for Business-As-Usual, and BRUT short for Brutality),
is to be a political take on the torture horror genre.
The film centers around 3 activist youths who are kidnapped and tortured
by a renegade police officer whose origins are never explained.
BAU BRUT will be shot in stylized 16 mm black & white film,
with an original sound score. Adam Rose will be directing
and portraying the film's main antagonist, the brutal cop of BAU BRUT.
Bethany Schmitt, the current director of VISITOR 420, will be co-directing.
Funds raised through this campaign will be used for production costs,
including the cost of purchasing and processing the 16 mm film stock,
props and set design elements, post-production, distribution, and a
modest stipend for the actors.
Thank you for your support!
