OBJECTIVE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by Dorian Nuskind-Oder<\/strong> (choreographer) and Catherine Ch\u00e9nier<\/strong> (horse trainer and horse riding instructor), this workshop is an opportunity to explore the notion of leadership within creative practice through the unique experience of movement with horses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the week, participants are invited to observe their own physical and energetic habits when they occupy the role of \u201cleader\u201d and to explore new approaches related to this role. With the help of horses, who are both very sensitive and non-judgmental, we will practice, among other things, the qualities of clarity of intention, listening, and patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This workshop is for choreographers, dancers and other artists who lead creative processes. No previous experience with horses is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONTENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This workshop includes studio time in Montreal as well as visits to an equestrian center (horse farm) on the north shore. In the studio, improvisation exercises, both in pairs and groups, will be used to explore various ways of taking on the role of ‘leader’ in movement. At the equestrian center, we will explore the disciplines of “groundwork” (directing a horse using a long rope) and “liberty work” (directing a horse moving freely in space using only gestures and energetic signals, without physical contact). All work with the horses is done on the ground; we do not ride them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the workshop, there will also be moments for discussion and reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This workshop created a space to share about leadership in the arts from an intellectual and embodied space. Leadership in creative teams and in an artistic practice. I’m walking away with a better understanding of what kind of leader I want to be, what I need to keep working on, and a desire to keep trying to find tools for self-care as a leader. <\/p>\n\u2014 Alida <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
