Logomotion is a method of improvising with movement and speech, working in an open-associative way from a common source. Developed by Simone Forti, Logomotion can be a form of research, sharing, performance and more, offering tools to develop interests, subject matter and our own self-knowledge through real-time-composition.
Coming from the visual arts, Jeremiah Day has collaborated and taught with Forti in such venues as the Institute For Contemporary Art, London to Cathy Weiss Studios in New York. For Day, Logomotion exists at the edge of Happennings and Conceptual Art as an art/life strategy. Special guest Claire Filmon travels from Paris for this weekend, where she has hosted a regular improvisational group for years. Claire came to Logomotion through post-modern dance, teaching and performing with Simone Forti for decades, and brings a special focus on the power of the work for training in dance.
