WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
The Metaphysical Body is a dance research project exploring the relationship between dance and altered states of consciousness. Grounded in phenomenological research, it treats lived experience as a primary source of knowledge and insight.
Within this framework, Contact Improvisation is explored not only as a partner-based form but also as a solo and group practice. We begin by examining how movement flows through the individual body, focusing on the subtle art of recycling kinetic energy
through refined technique and awareness. Central to this is the state of Flow, where movement arises effortlessly, free from mental interference.
We will investigate the foundations of clear physical communication with a partner, developing an adaptive framework that supports responsiveness to different bodies, energies, and intentions. This process nurtures an embodied intelligence that fosters both personal expression and mutual cooperation.
Further, we will explore group intelligence—the collective awareness that emerges when several bodies move together. Through shared movement strategies, we’ll attune
to subtle, non-verbal cues that shape group dynamics and explore how individual presence contributes to the unfolding of a cohesive group structure.
This workshop invites participants to move beyond habitual patterns, opening doors to altered states of consciousness through embodied practices and discover new ways of
sensing, moving, and being present in the world.
