Embodied Poetry Generation - Philadelphia Fringe Festival

Embodied Poetry Generation

Athena Zeros

Workshops/Classes

Embodied Poetry Generation (Analog AI) is a space and an experiment in world-building. It is a portal to a story that emerges from our collected fragments of memory. It is a score that auto-generates a script in word and movement from collective memory.

We will take our fragments of memories and associations and collage them with movement via a score developed for this purpose. An unexpected collective narrative emerges spontaneously from our many responses to impossible questions.

Curious? Come join!

People who have all sorts of relationships with movement, storytelling, poetry, and the infinite ways of describing life are welcome.
Past iterations of this score were held at Okay Project Space, and Flux Laboratory Athens.

With over 100 offerings – from rebellious circus, delicious dance, fearless theatre and activist art to workshops, parties, and more – Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance at four different venues this Fringe. Come as you are and stay past bedtime. Blaze your own trail at cannonballfestival.org.
