One of the best compliments a contact dancer can receive is – “you are light as a feather”, another good indication to one technique is how we land on the floor, both these partners (the human one and the floor beneath our feet) teaches us how to refine our movement and dance. In this Intensive Contact Improvisation workshop we will practice and investigate how to be light as a feather and to land quietly on the floor like a cat, we will learn to use our entire body – muscles, bones and joints in order to achieve this not so easy task.By understanding different pathways in space and inside the body one can learn to refine his/her movement capabilities. Seeing spirals pathways as a way up to the air and down to the ground, realizing that one can influence the “heaviness” quality of his/her body and change it in order to be grounded or to be lifted.
In this workshop we will experience and explore how we can override our fear reactions into a free form, dancing and extending it into flying. By the end of the workshop we will see how we will be flying on a partner in a safe way, and how to feel secure and to ride this flow even in a less secure situations, which in the past might have brought our reflexes and reactions to burst out.
This workshop is intended for all levels practitioners of Contact Improvisation from beginners to very experienced practitioners. (If you have never done contact before, it is better to take a few classes before joining this workshop)
