There are skills within Contact Improvisation (CI) which, when given focus and attention, can expand the range, freedom and felt enjoyment of your dancing.
This 6 week series (5 sessions, plus 1 week off) is an opportunity to slow down, explore and integrate some of the pathways that allow more opportunities to “flow”.
No previous Contact Improvisation experience is required. This series is designed to meet you wherever you’re at in your practice..
We’ll explore new ways of organising and moving the body. As these ways of moving become more familiar, we begin to sense gravity as waves that can be surfed as you dance.
Sessions are paced to honour the time needed for new practices to land. There are spaces for free play and jamming, creating space for the learning mind to relax into a more playful, exploratory mode.
Techniques are introduced in stages, giving you space to notice how far you want to take each exploration. Sometimes less is more; sometimes going deeper is satisfying.
When we commit to a series, the consistency gives our bodies time to absorb and integrate what we’re learning. Rather than simply learning techniques, we’ll give them time to become available as part of our spontaneous movement.
We’ll explore skills relevant to different CI scenarios and postures, as well as the transitions between them, allowing improvised flows to emerge more naturally.
You’ll also develop the somatic intelligence to sense and adjust the tone of different parts of your body, from strength to softness, supporting greater fluidity, responsiveness and freedom in the dance.
