Each movement invites a different group of artists to experiment with a fluid vision of performance\, utilizing their range of expertise and individuality in the service of enacting her improvisational and choreographic structures. Novel Formats #2: The Set Up uses the dynamic of three as its defining structure to explore synthesis\, harmony\, and discord within the construct of an interdisciplinary performing ensemble. \nMany of Rachel Bernsen’s projects are investigations in collaboration and improvisation. Her series\, Novel Formats #1-7\,  is a set of seven performance events\, each prompted by the desire to rethink the understanding of and experience with improvisation as a form of performance and explore the boundaries between real time decision making and overt theatricality. \nEach installment asks the question: what happens when we come together in different social configurations\, each with its own possibilities for improvisation and contact? Improvisation asks us to notice what we’re doing in the moment\, to question learned and internalized value systems. We think our senses are right and true but so much is learned\, habitual. Novel Formats aims to interrupt these patterns through novelty\, risk\, and real time human connection.\n\n$5-10 recommended donation.\n\n\nFEATURING\nEllen Smith Ahern – dancer  https://ellensmithahern.com/ \n \nJulian Barnett – dancer  https://www.julianbarnett.com/ \n \nRachel Bernsen – dancer/director/instigator  https://rachelbernsen.com/ \n \nKyoko Kitamura – vocalizer\, keyboards  https://www.kyokokitamura.com/ \n \nMac Waters – electronics\, violist  https://macwaters.studio/ \n \nWATCH NOVEL FORMATS: A DIALOGUE (NUMBER ONE)\n \nAbout A Dialogue (number one) URL:https://uvjam.org/event/novel-formats-2-the-set-up/ LOCATION:JAM – Junction Arts & Media\, 5 S Main St\, White River Junction\, VT\, 05001\, United States CATEGORIES:Past Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uvjam.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/KAB_2830-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241012T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241012T120000 DTSTAMP:20260824T203425 CREATED:20240816T161542Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241019T200234Z UID:10001036-1728729000-1728734400@uvjam.org SUMMARY:How to Horror with Sarah Wisner and Sean Temple DESCRIPTION:Brian Carroll of Vermont Production Collective will be in conversation with acclaimed\, Montpelier-based horror directors\, Sean Temple and Sarah Wisner about how YOU can craft a compelling\, short horror film.
