COOKBOOK FOR THE BONEHOUSE is the title of a forthcoming book by Paula and several of her long-time collaborators. For the past twenty-five years, Paula has developed a “cookbook” of wild play “recipes” that she uses to challenge and focus dancers and movers in all disciplines.

COOKBOOK (the class) gives movers a “tool kit” of ideas to expand expressivity and clarify intention in performance. Techniques include: the power of stillness; the palette of dynamic space; internal phrasing; initiation and beyond; one thousand voices; shape shifting and the improvisational Deep Listening® strategies of composer Pauline Oliveros in the moment.
