Contact Improvisation: an introduction
In times of uncertainty and external stress, we can feel powerless. Our bodies tense, our thoughts freeze, our ability to move through life stalls.
This workshop offers a gentle introduction to Contact Improvisation (CI) and creates a safe space to unfreeze, reconnect, and find stability amidst ongoing change.
You’ll be invited to explore your body, your movement, and your connection with space and others as your most accessible source of support.
At its core, CI is a practice that:
~ Reconnects you with your body, enhancing mobility and coordination
~ Encourages honest physical contact and clear boundaries through playfulness and respect
~ Allows you to stay in tune with inner impulses and evolve them into a wave, a dance, and free, authentic movement through life
No previous experience is needed.
THE FACILITATOR
Margo Doletska is a CI practitioner from Ukraine and an interdisciplinary explorer of embodiment through voice work, theatre, body-based practices, and Gestalt therapy. Her work is related to understanding the body and creating spaces for authentic expression and connection.
