Workman Arts
Exploring the personal and expansive intersections of race, madness, and choreography through the framework of reenactment.
Same As Sister completed a 4-day choreographic intensive, Reimagining Madness through Reenactment, part of Workman Arts’ 2024 Winter Course Catalogue.
The intensive was co-facilitated by interdisciplinary performance collective, Same As Sister (S.A.S.)/Briana Brown-Tipley + Hilary Brown-Istrefi and disability arts advisor, Rachel da Silveira Gorman to explore the personal and expansive intersections of race, madness, and choreography through the framework of reenactment.
Participants learnt material from S.A.S.’s larger body of work covering these themes, in addition to crafting their own movement phrases inspired by sources including popular television and cinema.
