Gallery Hours: Friday - Sunday 12pm - 6pm Collective Choreographies exhibits thirty-six labanotational ink drawings of line dances. Using a taxonomy of tiny and precise lines, each notation corresponds to a movement within standard line dance choreography. These movements are typically specified by “stepsheets,” written instructions popularly circulated through open-source websites to learn and teach line dances. Each drawing shows 121 “dancers” in a grid of 11 x 11 “dancing” simultaneously. Each hand-drawn depiction highlights the tension between coordinated, identical movements and each unique and idiosyncratic instance. The representation of repetitive, rhythmic sameness reveals itself to be, in fact, a representation of multiplicity and difference, in the drawing as it is on the dance floor. As a meditation on coordinated movement, the drawings seek to depict the muscle memory and propulsion of group movement that directs our physical bodies more than any coherent thought when moving together. *-*- *Programs*— **Opening Reception** Thursday, May 14, 5-9pm - **[Dance Lessons and Party](https://withfriends.events/t/wd9ub33g/)** Sunday, May 17, 3-7pm (Lessons at 4pm and 5pm) $15 suggested donation NOTAFLOF Teachers: Abi of Bootleg Linedance & Corey - **[Dance Lessons and Party](https://withfriends.events/t/9qfi8ym5/)** Friday, May 22, 7-11pm (Lessons at 8pm and 9pm) $15 suggested donation NOTAFLOF Teachers: Sean of Stud Country & Kira - **[Dance Lessons and Closing Party](https://withfriends.events/t/xnnc2_qr/)** Sunday, May 24, 3-7pm (Lessons at 4pm and 5pm) $15 suggested donation NOTAFLOF Teachers: Paris of Do Si Dontcha & Summer Add to calendar Google Calendar iCalendar Outlook 365 Outlook Live
