What is articulation?
Something you might be more familiar with than you think. In tying, articulation involves where and how events and arcs begin and end. Articulation is involved in the difference taking an appropriate amount of time for every single action while tying, but also making sure that tying doesn’t become boring, homogenous, and bland. “Articulation,” although often in a different set of terms is what most teachers are thinking about when they tell their students to “slow down.”
Understanding articulation is vital for anyone interested in tying. Although rarely discussed, the ability to break down and analyze movement is one of the most fundamental skills of the practice. Articulation is an important component of any movement analysis.
Drawing on physical theater exercises, Andrea Rimon will help students explicitly identify points of articulation and refine their ability to break down scenes as well as to make intentional choices. This class will be a study on how to make each moment count. In addition to drawing on exercises and techniques from physical theater, we will take a broad theoretical approach that touches on anatomy, linguistics, and semiotics to examine where concepts of articulation align. Taking all of these ideas together, they will explore articulation as the nexus of content and expression, an important and politically charged site of creativity production.
In other words, they will help students identify, grow familiar with, and engage in play with something that is part and parcel of any good tying experience.
