Contact improvisation is based on the communication between two (or more) moving bodies that are in physical contact and their combined relationship to the physical laws that govern their movement; gravity, momentum, inertia. The body, in order to feel these sensations, learns to release excess muscular tension and abandon a certain quality of willfulness to experience the natural flow of movement. Contact improvisation often includes rolling, falling, being upside down, following a physical point of contact, supporting and giving weight to a partner. I often like to aim towards movable support and gentle flying technique. This workshop is about learning movement without copying shape or form, but rather to know kinesthetically how to be connected and grounded in dance. Essence of trace in CI could be named also as an embodied anatomy of CI. What do you know already and how can you re-learn in order to improvise?
