    Ep 30: 4 Part Dance

    Oct 21, 2023 - This session takes you on a small choreographic exploration can result in what we'll call a 4 Part Dance. Starting with asking "Where do you want to move today? Where in the body do you feel the urge to create action or flow?" Then we build short 2 Part Sequences that we then combine into a final 4 Part Dance of your own. Moving actions from one location in the body to another. Easy. Low stakes creativity and motion. Written and recorded by CoCo Loupe. This podcast and community practice is co-produced and facilitated by CoCo Loupe and Mina Estrada with collaborators Nicole Garlando and Noelle Chun.

    Ep: 26 a conversation with Mina Estrada

    Welcome to another episode of Benevolent Instruction. Season 2 Episode 26 to be exact! I'm CoCo Loupe, co-creator and facilitator along with Mina Estrada, Nicole Garlando and Noelle Chun. For today's journey through the Benevolent Instruction world, we offer another interview slash conversation. This time i sat down with Mina Estrada. the person who without her playful presence and rigorous commitment to being my friend and fellow movement interrogator, this practice would have never really existed. This is the second episode of this particular kind...the first conversation episode was #24 with Noelle Chun and because that one was so much fun and so fruitful, we decided to keep going with this format and offer them every once in a while as we continue to publish our regularly scheduled instruction recordings. anyway! we have these conversations all of the time as collaborators and creators but wanted to start offering them to our listeners and fellow practitioners so we could all delight in these musings on dancing, making dances, creative processes, writing, living and any other subject that feels relevant and related to this practice. now Much like Noelle and I, Mina and I have known each other for years and also co-produced dance works, concerts and community projects together. and in fact, Benevolent Instruction, originally referred to as Voice Recognition, actually started as a text-based pen-pal dance game between the two of us. as soon as we met back in 2014 we formed a close bond of friendship and almost immediately started to produce dreamy, playful and mysterious (to us at least) dance experiences for ourselves and our communities. benevolent instruction happens to be the longest running of these many projects (going on a full 4 years now) and we're still delighting in its rigorously complex yet comforting and easeful qualities. If you'd like to know more about Mina, you can check out her bio on our website at benevolentinstruction.com but for now we'll jump right into our conversation. I hope you enjoy the topics we cover and that through conversations like this one, we can all continue to get what we more of what we need out of the Benevolent Instruction process and practice. As always, you can follow us on Instagram @benevolent_instruction where we post information about new podcast episodes and upcoming community events. Speaking of which, our next community zoom session is at 12pm EST on August 20th. You can register to join by heading over benevolentinstruction.com. I hope you're having a beautiful day and now, my conversation with Mina Estrada!

    Ep. 24: a conversation with Noelle Chun

    Welcome to another episode of Benevolent Instruction. I'm CoCo Loupe, co-creator and facilitator along with Mina Estrada, Nicole Garlando and Noelle Chun. Today we have something different and very special to share with you. Since the Intro episode where Mina and I talked a bit about what Benevolent Instruction is, all of our episodes have been the scripted recordings that we create for our solo practice and for our community sessions. So now after almost 50 episodes of THOSE recordings, we wanted to start offering interviews and conversations about Benevolent Instruction, dancing, making dances, creative processes, writing, living and any other subject that feels relevant and related to this practice. So today, for episode 24 of Season 2, I sat down with Noelle Chun to talk about Benevolent Instruction and check in about where we think we're living inside of the practice, how we are sensing its development and asking how we think it's serving us and others who engage with it. Noelle and I have known each other for over a decade and we have created dances and concerts together, taught together and collaborated on community projects as well. Noelle has been writing, co-facilitating, and practicing with us for a couple of years now and I'm so happy that we finally recorded one our many conversations about Benevolent Instruction to share with everyone. If you'd like to know more about Noelle, you can check out her bio on our website at benevolentinstruction.com but for now we'll jump right into our conversation that was recorded earlier today. I hope you enjoy the topics we cover and that through conversations like this one, we can all continue to get what we more of what we need out of the Benevolent Instruction process and practice. As always, you can follow us on Instagram @benevolent_instruction where we post information about new podcast episodes and upcoming community events. Speaking of which, our next community zoom session is at 12pm EST on August 6. You can register to join by heading over benevolentinstruction.com. I hope you're having a beautiful day and now, my conversation with Noelle Chun!
