Groove Decomposition is a somatic research practice developed over six years that investigates how groove is culturally coded and how movement patterns become stereotyped through repetition, institutions, and social expectation. Rather than reproducing recognizable styles, the practice questions whether groove is something learned or something generated from within. What happens when we access the vibration that creates groove instead of copying its cultural form? Through processes of dismantling, deep listening, and reconstruction, participants deterritorialize imposed movement patterns and develop an authentic bodily vocabulary rooted in their own somatic truth. Groove is approached not as a fixed style, but as a living impulse — not the recovery of something lost, but the creation of something new from its original source. Open to artists, movement researchers, and anyone interested in corporeal decolonization. No prior dance training required.
GROOVE DECOMPOSITION IS A METHODOLOGY THAT EXPLORES HOW TO DISMANTLE LEARNED MOVEMENT PATTERNS TO FIND YOUR OWN BODILY VOCABULARY. THROUGH BODY DRAMATURGY, WE INVESTIGATE THE ECHOES OF MEMORIES AND RHYTHMS THAT EACH BODY HOLDS.
THE PROCESS WORKS IN THREE PHASES: DISMANTLING THE IMPOSED, DEEP LISTENING TO AUTHENTIC IMPULSE, AND BUILDING NEW WAYS OF MOVING. PARTICIPANTS EXPLORE WHAT STORIES THEIR BODY TELLS AND HOW TO CREATE FROM THAT PERSONAL TRUTH.
