WILD CARD MOVEMENT, Fridays at 7 pm, city hall square
The pandemic dealt us a wild card, and we have played it as innovative outdoor dance improvisation. We perform every Friday, advocating Presence, Love, and Resilience as a participatory road to good, healthy, risk-taking entertainment.
With dance studios closed, we have lowered risk by keeping events outdoors where conditions provide maximum ventilation – extending our site-specific practice of many years.
Every week, 8 to 12 dancers gather in City Hall Square from 6 pm to 7 pm to practice ensemble dance improvisation skills. Some weeks we have collaborator or teacher. After, from 7 pm to 7:30, we perform.
This is Wild Card Movement.
This is LIVE. Puzzle-solving, meaning-making, listening and celebrating!
Free admission, but we appreciate a donation to help cover our expenses. E-transfer to ksambdance@gmail.com or cash at the performance.

In collaboration with RAYMON MONTALBETTI!
Raymon is an educator dedicated to making the impossible possible.
Actor, director, and artistic director of AmoK Theatre Lab Vienna, Austria (1972 -1980.)
Participant at Grotowski’s “University of Research” in Wroclaw, Poland.
Raymon is known and appreciated for his radical teaching at E.D. Feehan and at the U of S.
"In everyday life, "if" is a fiction, in the theatre "if" is an experiment. In everyday life, "if" is an evasion, in the theatre "if" is the truth. When we are persuaded to believe in this truth then the theatre and life are one ... when we experience the work as play, then it is not work anymore. A play is play.” ― Peter Brook
