- **Event Name**: Invisible Dialogues with Physical Forces 1-Day Intensive Contact Improvisation Dance with Irene Pons
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Jun, 2025 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: ???????? ???????????
We will get inspired by the principles of Contact Improvisation, studying some material left from the first generation of practitioners. We'll explore states of mind, vision, awareness, gravity, time, mass, weight, and physical forces through play and movement.

????? ?????
Irene chooses Contact Improvisation as her main practice to touch the present and embrace the unknown. Her dance journey began as a child with Catalan folk dances, where she first felt the power of the collective through movement. Looking for more creativity and freedom, she later embraced Contact Improvisation. Irene has been deeply inspired by Towards, An Open Institute of Embodied Arts and Transformative Learning in Thailand, where she spent the last two years. She is more drawn to the spirit of the practice than to its form, exploring how to open the space for dance to unfold, create a state of readiness that can meet the constant change and transformation of life, and develop an awareness to expand beyond the walls. What can we take from this practice?

14th June, from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM

We will begin the day by creating a space of trust, confidence, and listening, where we can feel at ease to share, touch, and be touched by the group and the space. How can we be danced by the space without expectations? We will explore tone and equalizing, seeking ways to move together effortlessly, without forcing or being forced. We’ll play with weight and embrace imbalance. As "Tension masks sensation" we will start the day by bringing softness to the body and soul, opening ourselves to receive the world and establish honest connections.

What does falling teach us? What do we release when we fall? What is our relationship with the ground? In this workshop, we will soften the body to embrace the fall and be received by the earth, rather than resisting it. How can we fall together, support each other, and use the energy of the earth to return? Inspired by Steve Paxton's Small Dance, we will explore gravity and how to use momentum to navigate through space. We will also experiment with different ways of using vision—both central and peripheral—exploring how they affect our awareness of space and movement, and how we can use disorientation as a tool for improvisation.
