Open to artists of all disciplines interested in expanding their creative choices.

The workshop is physical…come prepared to move.

 Shawn McConneloug has been making art since 1993. As director of Orchestra*, a nationally recognized movement/theatre company, she has created and produced over fifteen original, multidisciplinary works presented throughout the United States, in Central America and Japan. She has received awards and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Bush Foundation, several McKnight Choreographic and Interdisciplinary Fellowships and a Sage Award for Outstanding Design. As a teaching artist, she has conducted residencies and workshops in movement/theatre practices and interdisciplinary collaboration locally nationally and internationally since 1994.,

McConneloug's attraction to the physical language of Viewpoints began fourteen years ago in the early days of Ann Bogart and SITI Company. Her exploration of Ann's approach led her to its origins in the work of choreographer, teacher and innovator Mary Overlie, who began to develop her deconstructive approach to theatre called Six Viewpoints in the 1970's.

McConneloug’s current passion is exploring the relationship of performance and neuroscience. Her research is focused primarily on the body/mind’s perception of space and time and in the area of mirror neurons and their relationship to audience and empathy.
