Dive into the core principles of contact improvisation and its dynamics in a shared space. Explore gravity, momentum and inertia while developing a relationship with the floor and other bodies. How do we engage our range of physical communication from spatial to skin level? How can we embody listening?
Tuning into the functions of the different joints in our body and their relationship to the spine, we learn how to move seamlessly through different qualities of movement. Using contact to explore gravity and create momentum through spiralling, sliding and falling.
An opportunity to develop a body that is spatially agile and ready to flow in and out of contact. Expand our perception to include all bodies in space as part of our dance. Understanding how every moment is relational and how collective agreement can empower our sense of interconnectedness. We allow our bodies to fall beyond conscious choice so that we can readily support our co-creative dances that emerge from simply being present.
