A workshop that cross-pollinates aspects of Contact Improvisation with improvisational performance.Time: 10-12.30
Location: Danscentrum Syd
Contact Improvisation started as a performance experiment where dancers explored the pure physics of falling, catching, rolling, and softly “bumping” into each other. Taking inspiration from those early inquiries, we let concepts such as center of gravity, weight articulation, and inertia* become “navigational tools” that help simplify and deepen the improvised moment.
Balancing the use of touch, vision, and sound opens up to “the big picture”; the sense of ensemble, and of spatial awareness. Working with timing – the readiness to pause and change pace in the midst of the flow of movements and impulses – expands the potential for improvisational unpredictability, and the joy of co-creating through dance.
These concepts will be explored in a spirit of collaboration, curiosity, and deep play.
The workshop is open to all levels of experience but will best fit those who like to work with focus and some physical and emotional challenge.
*the natural tendency of objects to stay in motion or rest unless a force acts on them.
