Tuesday Intermediate Series: Contact Improvisation & the Ensemble Body
co teaching with Gwen Ritchie
5:00 - 7:00 PM
March 17 - May 19 (10 week session)
Boulder Circus Center.
Designed for those with a solid embodied understanding of CI foundational principles. Permission from instructors required This class series will explore CI skills in our solo, duet and ensemble bodies.
We will begin each class developing skills in our solo body then applying those skills to our duet and ensemble work. We will foster our artistry in improvisational compositional choice making that builds group attunement and collective creative possibilities. When we expand our ability to see/feel and allow emergent patterns to unfold we create something magical in the moment!
Specific skills we will focus on include:
• Embodied listening and responding
• Balancing grounding with levity
• Telescoping awareness, micro and macro
• Developing center and periphery fluidity
• Moving with vertical, horizontal and spherical space
• Playing with timing, stillness and movement
• Exploring expanding and contracting spirals
• Modulating tone to meet the moment
• Integrating simplicity and complexity
• Leading/following, initiating/responding
• Interweaving the senses of kinesthesia, touch, sight and sound
Tuesday class prerequisite:: This class is for those who have a solid embodiment of CI foundational principles and are interested in including ensemble awareness in their CI practice. Permission form instructors required.
