ACTION/REACTION
ACTION/REACTION
ABOUT
Action/Reaction is a multi-faceted program that introduces contemporary dance to individuals involved with creative practices in other art disciplines. The program connects dance/movement to artistic concepts and design at large, encouraging new perspectives across disciplines. Action/Reaction invites participants to articulate their own “reaction” and creative expression in response to a GroundWorks’ “action” in rehearsal and performance. Beginning with an interactive dance/movement session, followed by observation of rehearsals and performance, and culminating in a creative response, the program brings artists together to move, create, and share. Action/Reaction began with GroundWorks’ residence at Cleveland State University in 2012. Since then, the company has partnered with John Carroll University, The University of Akron, Cleveland Institute of Art, Akron Art Museum, Judson Senior Living, and Summit Artspace to expand on the human capacities to explore, witness, and create.
