the artists
margit galanter (ze/zir, they/them) is a dance poet and cultural instigator living on Huichin, unceded Ohlone land. Their syncretic approach is based on decades of practice in movement/art lineages and is shared through long-term projects and writings. margit’s work is offered through the vivid grove — a live art school for moving, learning, creative evolution, and collective liberatory practices. In the end of the last decade, they instigated Tuning Culture/Tuning4Armageddon, a collaborative inquiry that utilizes Tuning practices to decolonize dance, and Cave Forms, an exploration in performance, nourishment, fecundity and the environment. margit’s practice in tuning started in Seattle with Karen as zir teacher in 1996, and through the years, many collaborative adventures. www.vividgrove.org
Karen chuki Nelson (she/her/crone) tunes in community and performance where she lives on unceded Coast Salish land known as Vashon Island near Seattle, and world-wide on-screen in tunezooming, and face to face through international touring. Early on she helped develop Tuning Scores originated by Lisa Nelson in collaboration with Lisa, Scott Smith, and K.J. Holmes in their 1990’s performance group Image Lab and since then with many others. Tuning is a foundation to all chuki’s dancemaking, and crone has joined with margit galanter on many Tuning projects since they began collaborating in the late 90’s. This SFD+I inspired tuning creation project includes a scheduled early morning class, an all day research sideshow, and pop up site tunings with local and visiting guests. www.explomov.weebly.com
