What happens when we stay with a dance just a little longer?
When we allow weight to pour slowly, then shift quickly
when we meet the moment, not just with intention, but with presence?
This Contact Improvisation workshop invites us into the rich terrain between stillness and reflex, slowness and readiness.
We’ll explore how time moves through the body, how pouring and modulating weight can deepen our awareness of support, resistance, trust, and timing.
Sometimes we slow down to sense more.
Sometimes we respond before we understand.
Sometimes the shift is subtle other times it’s a wave.
Together, we’ll explore:
Pouring weight and modulating tone through contact
Staying attuned to our own timing and shared rhythm
Refining our readiness to move, yield, catch, or fall
The felt interplay between space, time, and touch
This is a space to explore how weight moves constantly through the body, to the space between momentum and stillness, between curiosity and clarity.
Open to all levels, whether you’re new to CI or returning to deepen your practice.
Facilitated by Anat Yariv
