*BACKGROUND INFO.*
Contact Improvisation is a form that involves dancing in relationship with others, often in physical contact.
This workshop will provide a rich opportunity to learn incredible skills of moving, dancing, listening and relating with others.
*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.
* Improvising with the ever-evolving spaces 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!
Guidance is provided where required.
Challenges and extended explorations will be offered where desired.
