Choreographic Tools: 100 Days in 120 Minutes

100 Days in 120 Minutes is an experiential workshop for choreographic practice. Adapted from Christy’s 100 Days Score, this workshop offers 100 prompts designed to support idea generation, experimentation, and the invention of performance containers.


Since forming Funsch Dance Experience in 2002, Christy Funsch has had her work presented nationally and internationally, on its own and in collaborative partnerships with Nol Simonse, Julie Mayo, and Peiling Kao. Christy holds an MFA and a Movement Analysis Certification, and she has been awarded choreographic residencies at CounterPULSE, Djerassi, Shawl Anderson, the U Cross Foundation, and Yaddo. In 2014, she was presented in Yerba Buena’s Bay Area Now Series, mentored by Tere O’Connor, and named one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch.” In 2015 she taught her improvisational practice 100 Days Score at ImpulsTANZ in Vienna, and she became the first woman to be granted permission to learn and perform Daniel Nagrin’s 1965 solo, Path. She regularly facilitates Wrecking, based on Susan Rethorst’s model for re-imagining dance, and she has been a guest artist at several universities, including Virginia Commonwealth University, James Madison University and the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Since relocating to the East Coast, Christy’s work has been presented at the Queens Arts Council, Kestrels, Green Space, Dixon Place, and here at Pillow Fort!
