Contact Improvisation requires a courageous willingness-but never so much as when we dance in the absence of will-those moments when we derop the reigns and, nowhere bound, allow our animal to carry us.
Join good company for dancing and discovery. With games, some sweat, and the unique physicality of the contact body we will savor and rock the boundaries between states of allowing and mindful intention.
We will explore:
Moving from a base of sensation
Dancing with a shared central axis
Seeking ease in going off balance
Finding the spontaneous acrobatics of the form
Spending more time in nuance, disorientation, and extended follow-through
For those with a solid grasp of contact fundamentals.
