Contact Improvisation is a form that involves dancing in relationship with others, often in physical contact.

Learn incredible skills of moving, dancing, listening and relating with others.

In this intensive, with guidance and support, you will

• learn & explore fundamental CI principles
• share discoveries
• enjoy practice in focused dance scores
• integrate & connect in open jamming

We’ll explore:

• patterns & pathways to let the movement flow
  
• improvising from shared points of touch
• sharing weight –  pouring from 1% up to 100% of our weight through another, opening a world of dance possibilities
• offering surfaces, channelling weight into the floor, supporting while dancing 
• smoothly transitioning from the vertical (upright) to horizontal (lying on the floor), and everything in between...
• rolling techniques – around each other, and across the floor
• Contact Impro with space between dancers
• We’ll research how we may use minimal effort, keeping our bodies available and fully present

We may find ourselves inexplicably playful, emotionally moved or feeling transformed by the character of a spontaneously created and ever-evolving dance!

The weekend includes some gentle experiential anatomical body-work

Is this for me?
