These beginner classes will cover
What is Contact Improvisation and the how to's of it.
You will Develop the tone, (mind, body, and spacial) awareness, relational skills, and dance movement practices to feel more live in solo movement, comfortable in connection, courageous when entering the unknown, and skilled in the art of movement.
Emergence: Sensitivity to the Physics of Motion - Is a research and practice developed to discover what is at the heart of every movement and hidden intelligence of contact improvisation. Studying the way bodies respond to weight, momentum, the subtle pressures of relationship, through the nervous system and its relationship to the physical (and sometimes metaphysical) environment, emergence is an inquiry into this intelligence. It is not just about how we move, but about how motion itself gives rise to new ways of perceiving, connecting, and creating.
Developed out of this research and practice was,
Spherical Anatomy - A conceptual framework to understand the bodies natural pathways of movement using spheres as metaphors of movement possibilities.
Dancing the audible body - Sound and balance have been closely related. Discover techniques and awareness to listen deeply to the emergent world in motion.
Bamboo Body Being - A practice to embody tensegrity, effortless strength, and unlock spiral technology.
Rubber body Being - Learn elasticity and new dimensions of movement using the skin and fascial network to move with fluidity and tension.
Feeling you feel me - Group improvisation scores to enter into deeper relational and improvisational spaces.
Over September (and possibly October), the above pedagogies aim to help you learn all of the crucial elements of contact Improvisation to feel delight and curiosity when entering into CI jams.
You're invited to join a space of discovery and belonging as we learn together. No experience needed, just curiosity and a wiliness to show up with whatever you are carrying (and bring water).
Please reach out with any questions.
I look forward to seeing you there.
