ABOUT the Intensive:
Listening, touch and dance will be the door to experience ‘inter-being’ which is the nature of the universe. Therefore, Contact improvisation dance is the great tool, map and state to tune this inter-related-body with joy! We will dive into the active, physical and subtle listening state together with questions and curiosities. When we listen fully, everything/every moments around and within us starts to reveal their music, dance and poem. we will discover what is happening and being created as an interconnected momentary body through CI.
We will meet phylogenetic progression from vibration to sea creatures within our present body and allow this characteristic states express their own dance. and also with the embryological approach, we will experience that our dancing bodies are the continuously changing, growing and resonating with past and future supported by the safe fluid environment. Body as forest which embraces all the different living creatures such as all the cells, different systems, organs will be investigated.
Relationship between inner and outer spaces, silence and dynamics, being filled and being emptied, listening and expressing, boundaries and beyond boundaries, centering and no-centering, rhythmic play through contemplativeness and playfulness will be researched together.
Touch, voice, somatic approach, Body-Mind Centering, Poong-gyung, GAMU, improvisation dance, contact, play, including solo research, partnering, group work, writing and verbal feedback session will be shared and played durimg the workshop.
