Breakthrough

Mandy Herrick

www.mandyherrick.com

Mandy holds a B.A. in Theatre/Dance from Luther College and is a Dance Artist, Somatic Movement Educator and Therapist, Certified Global Somatics Practitioner™, and mother of three. Her continued fascination with the body has led her to teaching, performing and choreographing through the lens of Contact Improvisation, Body-Mind Centering™and other embodiment practices. She has performed with Rosy Simas Danse and the Body Cartography Project among others and shown work collaboratively at various venues including the MN
Fringe Festival, the Soap Factory, Bryant Lake Bowl and a residency at Knox College. Her recent project, SiteSee, questions how to make performance available during a pandemic and how to allow small audiences to choose the performance site. Mandy continues to research and investigate dance in context with our culture’s current sociological and biological idea of the body through teaching and her creative process. She currently lives in Viroqua, WI with her family and two guinea pigs.




Inspired by the somatic body in relation to outdoor landscapes, my artistic process is founded in improvisation, embedded with embodiment practices and fluidity of time. It is therefore intentionally absent of counts, relying on the intelligent collective impulses of the performers. So, as a collaborator for “Runescores,” which asks the artist to create a dance within a tight measurability of time, I found myself in a new creative place I hadn’t felt in years.

And I also felt stuck.

How could I fully express my discoveries within the confines of these segments of action and pauses?

With the flexibility of video editing, new questions emerged:

What is the relativity of a pause, how does it reflect movement or should it?

What does it mean to heed the meaning of words or “runes” verses following impulses nurtured by the body in an environment?

And what actions are possible in a 1 second time frame?

What I found was an exciting exploration of the range of the body, of language in a particular site and the meaning of time.
