๐ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ, ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฐ๐, ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ธ๐ธStep into a space where movement is both exploration and technique. Our workshops invite you to use the body as a medium, to play with weight, space, and connection, and to discover how new forms emerge through improvisation.
With several different teachers, we guide you through the many layers of contact improvisationโfrom learning technical foundations to engaging in intuitive research. No prior dance experience is neededโjust curiosity, openness, and a willingness to move.
These classes are part of a 10 lesson cycle where you can join at anytime. Every two lessons, we invite a new teacher to bring their fresh perspective and theme. The first two lessons are aimed at first timers/beginners and people who like to go through the basics again. In later sessions we go more in-depth, but we still try to keep them accessible for beginners.

David Middendorp will be leading the first two sessions of the winter series with a Back to Basics themeโspecially designed to welcome newcomers to contact improvisation. In these first seasons we go through things like the basics techniques, what to wear, how to set and feel borders and some fun and playful exercises.

Some background information?
Contact Improvisation (CI) was developed in the early 1970s by American dancer and choreographer Steve Paxton, who combined influences from modern dance, ballet, and the martial art Aikido. His goal was to explore movement through touch, shared weight, and trust.
Playfulness and intention are at the heart of CI โ but it is also a physical technique. Learning how to give and receive weight, roll safely, and work with momentum helps dancers move with more freedom and awareness. Like any skill, it grows through practice, making each class/jam richer and more creative.

Another Kind Of Blue is known for beautiful choreography mixed with technique. With international acclaim, we make shows where we fly with drones, use projections and are currently developing a VR experience.
However, we believe dance is more than perfection and technique. Therefore, we are embracing contact improvisation, a form where spontaneity and direct interaction with each other are key. We encourage people to let go of control, trust their instincts and each other and discover new, unpredictable movements.
